Mexican Riviera - Day 0 - LA
The next few posts will be from my journal I wrote on our trip.
Arrived at L.A. the day before the cruise in early afternoon. Tony's luggage is missing. Attendant figures out it is in Seattle cuz Tony's claim ticket is someone else's bound to Seattle.
Arrive at HoJo hotel and have lunch at the hotel restaurant, a cheap chinese buffet. Nothing to wow about.
We decide to go on an L.A. evening tour, mostly because there isn't anything else to do, and the hotel is too rundown to want to spend any more time in it than necessary. The tour visited Universal Studios, Grauman's Chinese Theater, Sunset Strip, Rodeo Drive, Walk of Fame. It begins during rush hour and the traffic is HORRIBLE. Of our 4 1/2 hour tour, the first 1 1/4 hours is driving in traffic. Finally we get to Universal, and the lights at night are pretty cool. On the way to Grauman's we go up a hill and see the L.A. skyline and its beautiful in a strange way. At Walk of Fame & Grauman's (next to each other), we look at the famous names and I snap pictures.
