THREE DAYS IN LOS ANGELES

We traveled about ten days in Baja California but our flight was to LOS ANGELES. To same, we just made a break of about ten hours at the airport waiting to fly to Cabo San Lucas.
As for the return is our good habits, where we get the flight at least one or two days before: in this case, we arrived on Saturday afternoon and had the flight on Monday evening.

 

Not much we choose to think while we were in a baja hotel via internet that it was close to the airport ... this was not very wise because we were away from everything and the cost of taxis is very high.
However, we stayed in a hotel: The Adventurer SUITE HOTEL
of the 4200 Century Boulevard

I say good because it provides good services:
-breakfast with coffee or tea and a delicious muffin for free (if you eat the more you pay).
lo-afternoon snack.
the six-to seven champagne party all free.
-24 To 24 hours is available tea or hot coffee and a machine with the pop corn ready.
-c 'is a heated swimming pool all the time that the steam issued contrary to the freschetto the outside temperature.
Free shuttle to the airport 24 hours on 24th
-have a key box at a cost of $ 1 to leave the backpack in case of chek ut before the flight.

The rooms are very spacious, the two that we saw we had two rooms both with a kind lounge, sofa, TV, refrigerator, and sink and the other with double bed and bathroom. They cost $ 79 to notte.In There are lots of restaurants or fast food places to eat and does not lack the choice, even if the food is really great lines all the same.
In the end the choice will not be sorry because at the end due to bad weather paris we have canceled the flight of the night and we had to wake up at five and get the shuttle to expect and in fifteen minutes to arrive at the airport has comfortable fact, if we had been away we should have made up even earlier.
Consider you and your circumstances if you do as well or not.
We do a walk along the Century and there are lots of malls and fast food from the most unlikely and disparate: PolloLoco, Panda Express ... not even a sit down pizzeria in which (we are in crisis abstinence).
Let's go back to the hotel and advised us to order a home and tell us which can be done via the internet and saw that there is in free-wireless will order a pair from Pizza Hut that we arrive at a mezz'oretta; course the service is excellent and the pizza ... almost to throw us satisfied!

We found two and a half days to see LOS ANGELES and then not being informed first about what to do and see in LOS ANGELES we chose the only alternative offered by the brochure that we found in the hotel lobby. (http://www.viptoursandcharters.com/)
We proposed various options for tours of various durations and then with various prices ...
We chose the number 9, at a price of $ 230 (€ 164) in two persons.
Tour of the city and Universal Studios, starting at 9:00 and return by the 19:30.
We are punctual and to take us into their home where we all pay and sorted on different buses depending on tour chosen
There's a beautiful sunny day, and the driver there is also a guide explaining all of the streets and neighborhoods that we, rightly, but we do not understand anything.
The first stop of twenty minutes, and Venice Beach, there are the guys who are surfing, the boys playing basketball, just as we are accustomed to seeing on television the stereotype of the young Californian, including Baywatch Tower ...
Also deserve a visit to its streets and its shops, but twenty minutes is already gone back and finished ... let Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and the most expensive in LOS ANGELES: The Rodeo Drive, it seems to be in a show years 90 or on the set of Pretty Woman
Go for lunch at the Farmer's Market, pause of forty-five minutes .... there really is everything a small market full of small lots to eat chioschetti kitchens of all countries, with shops suovenirs and more ... even here the time flies fast.
Then we head to Hollywood Boulevard and the Walk of Fame, the way to the ground where there are the pink stars with the names of famous artists. Descend half hour, the time of photos of the ceremony written Hollywood from afar, a walk on the Walk of Fame between sosia of super heroes and famous actors and a look at the Chinese Theater.
But how much haste, nor the time to buy a memento in peace!
Immediately fled towards the hills of Hollywood ... magnificent Sky-line, LOS ANGELES is a city of immense closed between the sea and the hills and rise from the center of the grattaceli down-town, creating a spectacular effect ... pity the mist!

There is also an excellent view over strafotografata megascritta Hollywood, shoot some photos, "ten minute, no more" and climbing on the bus destination Universal Studios ...
We realize immediately that afternoon ... we just do?
We decide to take "possibly last" type attractions Gardaland Studios and focus on real, illustrating where the special effects or train animals for films like "One God" and end the tour on how to set Wisteria Lane example of desperate Housewives, the plane crashed the War of the Worlds or the Bate's Motel of Psyco.
We arrive at closing time we do just to make the castle of horrors ... very nice, mainly because instead of dummies or robotic movements, there are real actors who will not jump out when we'll be making matters a heart attack ... not suitable for heart!
Sin esserselo not tasted everything!
Let's go back to the hotel, we are somewhat 'tire ... one eye on the confirmation of a flight tomorrow ... all ok, confirmed, now a nanna!

Today we have whole day available, we put our backpacks in lockers and safety we leave for our last day in LA
We do arrange for a taxi near the museum where we should take the bus Hop-on Hop-off (http://www.starlinetours.com/los-angeles-tour-1H1.asp) that will take us around the city and that with a single ticket will allow us to board and alight from the bus stop of his journey. Expect but do not see anyone, we know that every half hour but for now even the shadow. We are moving on foot and reach up to Farmer's Market where we coalzione (again!) From Starbucks, and finally find the bus red double-decker discovered that we were looking for. We make the ticket ($ 30 each) and because it is a beautiful sunny day we put ourselves out on the floor, ready to take our latest photos of this trip.
After passing Melrose, the Fox Studios and the cemetery of the celebrities arrive in front of the Chinese Theater, where we descend to do some 'shopping between stores and various souvenirs Megastore (Virgin).
Heading in and come to Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive where there is a concentration of luxury really scary! (tipa with interesting personal shopper and bull-dog in tulle skirt)
We reach the most approachable Beverly Hills Shopping Center where we decided to have lunch.
Just out of curiosity I approach the application of a store where there's wi-fi corner, just for the last controllatina our flights, we were told that a house is a lot of snow and we would not have bad surprises!
Murphy's Law: If something can go wrong will do!
PARIS-LAX flight canceled, and of course nobody told us anything .... What now?
We find a public phone because the phone you are unable to access the automatic exchange of Alitalia, and through an interpreter and the telephone service to our credit card, we are on the phone 40 minutes for $ 112 with an operator with not even aware of 'your unsubscription. In the end we riprotegge the flight with a LAX-NY NY-MXP leaving tomorrow morning at 8:30 ... speriamo bene!
We conclude the day by shopping and return to the hotel where we are given another room for the night and book the shuttle to the airport (free) for tomorrow morning at 5:30 ... now to bed, tomorrow will be a day long!

Punctual to arrive at the airport and discover you need to do the check-in do-it-yourself ... thank goodness there is a woman from the Delta to assist us and the whole row smooth in no time.
Quiet flight to NY, the only new year with new films have made a payment and if you see one you have to scrape the paper ... go to the music channels and satellite ...
Kennedy at a moment of panic, one hour of coincidence and not even know what we are terminal (there are 9 if I am not mistaken). Solve in a short time and we are in front of the gate Alitalia ...
Back at home ... there's snow
