Roadtrip - The West Coast

So, let's see:

 

16/7: Hungtington Beach, Del Mar, San Diego

 

17/7: Balboa Park (San Diego), Tijuana, Palm Springs

 

18/7: Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave Desert Preserve, Las Vegas (Zumanity show)

 

19/7: Hoover Dam, Outlet shopping in Primm, Las Vegas

 

20/7: Back to Los Angeles. Jay Leno show - guests were Colin Farrell, Rainn Wilson and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

A stalker went on stage during the show, so they had to redo some things...

 

21/7: Shopping electronics in Burbank, Universal studios and Citywalk again.

 

That's pretty much what happened during those days.

 

We will go to Melrose, UCLA, Venice and Malibu later today.

Universal Studios

Been to Universal Studios yesterday. It was supposed to be the warmest day of the year yesterday, so we wore sunblock.

 

We did Shrek 4D, Terminator 2D, Waterworld, The Studio Tour, and then we were pretty much tired of standing in lines in the heat. We bought a season's pass, so we'll probably return another day. We have some rides/attractions left.

 

At early afternoon we left the park and went shopping instead. We went to Westfield Fasion Square and spent a lot of time in an American Eagles store.

 

We went back to Universal Studios City walk later to see Superman returns on I-Max. Some selected scenes were in 3D, so everybody had to wear those stupid 3D glasses. It was a good movie though. 4 out of 5. Go see it.

 

So, we will be driving down the coast line to San Diego today. I won't be able to blog on the road... See you soon, bye bye then.

Touchdown in LA

Landed safely in LA yesterday and I even managed to get in the country. I suspect the photo shot they took at the immigration yesterday was not the best shot of me, but I guess I can live with that. :)

Going to Universal City at Hollywood soon to try my luck. Who knows, I might end up in one episode of some series.... :-D Just kidding, we're going to the amusement park, but the film studios are placed in there also...

We'll be heading down to San Diego and Tijuana tomorrow. We'll do some beach hopping too on our way down to SD.

Leaving On A Jet Plan

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
...
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

/John Denver - Leaving On A Jet Plane

Nja.... Alla väskor är inte packade än, men det känns som det är dags att börja packa dem på riktigt för på fredag bär det av. Vid sex-tiden åker vi från Hässleholm till Kastrup. Planet lyfter vid 10-tiden och vid 16-tiden landar jag och Johan på LAX.

Sedan är det 10 dagar i Kalifornien och sen ca 2 veckor från Memphis ner till Key West och sen upp till Washington och NYC...

Byte av cykelkedja

Usch, jag har dåligt samvete. Jobbade till sent idag och var tvungen att käka på McDonald's. Rolles gatukök vägrade sälja till mig nämligen. De hade precis stängt påstod de.

Och jag lovar - nästa gång jag byter cykelkedja ska det bara ta 3 h.

There, there baby it's just text book stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up

Perfekt syn?

Min syn är tydligen helt perfekt!

Nåja, kanske inte helt perfekt, men så pass bra att optikern vägrade sälja mig ett par glasögon i alla fall.

Och mina gamla glasögon var tydligen helt FEL. Inte undra på att jag får ont i huvudet varje gång jag har dem på mig - även på den tiden de var helt nya, dvs för 12 år sedan.

Åker till USA nästa fredag. Har börjat småpacka och välja ut vilken resväska jag ska ha med mig.

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violins
Just run with me through rows of speeding cars
