    Oakland to LA on the Coast Starlight

    21. september 2013, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    In 1999, when I first arrived to live in the US, I took the Coast Starlight from LA up to Oakland--this trip was in the reverse direction. It's a beautiful trip along the coast, with several stops long enough to get out and stretch your legs.

    I stayed overnight in a comfortable, homey hotel not far from Union Station, and on my evening walkabout come across a nearby alley with some great little eating places, one of them with a name I recognized from a song we used to sing in primary school.

  • LAX to Anaheim

    22. september 2013, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    The purpose of the trip was to meet with my niece and her son, who had flown in from New Zealand. Then we'd go to all the tourist traps in Southern California. First port of call was Anaheim to visit Disneyland.

    In the evening, we went to a hotel near the travel apartments we were staying in that allowed visitors up on its roof to watch the nightly fireworks shows over the theme park.

  • Legoland

    27. september 2013, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We took a coach shuttle down to the Legoland Hotel in Carlsbad and had two days there in our pirate-themed room. The aquarium at Legoland was wonderful, but I guess all the Lego sculptures were pretty good, too! We had a watery battle on a pirate ship, and the pool at the hotel was fantastic.

    One evening, we took a stroll to a nearby music museum and street concert.

  • Koreatown, Los Angeles

    2. oktober 2013, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We took the Surfliner up to LA from San Diego, and it was a very pretty coast-hugging trip (just didn't take any photos of it!)

    I had rented an AirBnB here, but it turned out to be awful. Mainly because LA was experiencing a migraine-inducing heatwave and the apartment didn't have air conditioning, nor was there a pool in the complex, but we could see one at the back of the one next door. Torture!

    Main port of call was Universal Studios, but we also took the Metro to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the nearby little museum, and went on the worst bus tour ever of Hollywood, with a driver who seemed out of it on drugs, talked absolute BS about what we were seeing, and didn't go to several of the places promised on the brochure, such as the Hollywood sign.
