      Travelling home

      January 20 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      So today is the day I start my long journey home, as I am on an early evening flight after breakfast at iHop, after a late checkout at 11am ended up just waiting in the hotel as was raining heavily most of the morning, luckily the hotel let me use the business lounge which had 2 massaging chairs, $5 USD for 15 minutes, well worth it.

      Around Anaheim they have a local bus service which we used to get to and from Disneyland everyday, $16 USD for a 3 consecutive days pass, was so worth it as bus stop was right outside the hotel and dropped us off at the entrance, at the longest we waited a max of 10 minutes for the service.

      The same company has an on demand service that will pick you up and drop you at John Wayne airport for $12 USD, an excellent service and cheaper than getting an Uber and drops you closer to the terminals.

      Was originally supposed to fly out of LAX but was lucky enough to score a points flight from John Wayne Airport to Sydney via San Francisco in business class, so as type this I am enjoying the Polaris Lounge which was voted best business class lounge in the world, although I think the Qatar Airlines business lounge in Doha is better.

      My flight from San Francisco is due depart at 10:50pm Saturday 20th January but doesn’t land in Sydney until Monday 22nd January at 9:25am meaning I am losing a whole day, I expect the jet lag to be epic.

    • Day 20

      Solvang

      May 30, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      MONTEREY–17-MILE DRIVE–CARMEL–SOLVANG

      Today, you’ll take in spectacular 17-MILE DRIVE. Watch Pacific Ocean waves en route to Carmel on Carmel Bay. Nestled in a pine forest, the one-square-mile village of Carmel is incredibly dynamic, yet still quaint and picturesque. Afterward, on to Solvang, where Denmark has been recreated with picturesque buildings and windmills. There’s time to walk the flower-lined village streets and enjoy the “Old World” architecture. Tasty bakery treats and perhaps a Danish smorgasbord for dinner all add to the unique experience.
