9 December 2011 - I have shaken myself out of my lethargy (almost) and have booked accommodation in San Diego for Tuesday through Friday next week and now that I've made the move I am anxious to get out of LA. LA doesn't grab me but I will try to get out and see a few more places before I leave.
I've booked to travel down by Amtrak train and am looking forward to that - I love trains.
At San Diego I plan to visit Susanne and her little baby Madison :) and also the San Diego Zoo. May venture into Tijuana but not real sure on that one as I have been advised it isn't safe. Will investigate further.

Star Spotting!!!
8 December 2011 - went to The Grove shopping precinct to post Lee's parcels and did a bit of star spotting.
Dermot Mulroney is more beautiful in real life than in the movies HOWEVER he is a little on the short side for my liking. HOWEVER it is something I would overlook in this case. :)
Also saw Cheryl Burke (Dancing with the Stars)

Alone in LA...strange
7 December to 8 December 2011 - Lee left today (7/12) to fly to Hawaii. It was strange - we both felt quite ambivalent about continuing our respective journeys. We felt like getting on the next plane and just returning to Australia. Maybe it was just that this marked the end of our original trip or maybe we just know we won't see each other again for God knows how long - we've been in each others pockets for the best part of a year now. Anyway - although I still feel like going home - I will continue on - just feel a bit lost at the moment.
Never been this far from home.....alone.
Went to the Post Office yesterday and posted off a box of summer clothing back to Australia - won't need them for quite some time and need to be able to pack all that is left into my back pack now that the van has gone back. Cost $158 fercryingoutloud!!! Still better than throwing them out I guess and re buying later. I will need to send another box before I leave but it will be much lighter - just odds and ends. Haven't actually worked out where to go from here - just having a couple of days catching up on a few jobs. I have booked in to the Hostel till Tuesday so will get on the net later and work on a plan of attack.
Need to go back to Post Office today and post off Lee's stuff, follow up on a credit card that still hasn't been replaced since the Great New York Robbery of 2011 hehehe - also colour my hair (look like Richard Gere now) and sort out some more of my stuff.
Beautiful sunny autumn day here - maybe it's winter - not sure exactly when that starts.

Doctor Phil - You're lovely
6 December 2011 - Went to a taping of the Doctor Phil show today. "Gripes, Grudges and Grievances" He is every bit as lovely as he appears and really has a great sense of humour - as has his wife Robin.
Walked home after - took an hour - and am feeling exhausted again. Really think I'm coming down with something.

Exploring Los Angeles
3 December to 5 December 2011 - have felt really tired the last few days and have slept a LOT. Ventured out a few times - particularly to a shopping precinct called The Grove. Very nice - has all the big stores and great restaurants and is all very Christmassy at the moment. . Today I went on a tour of LA with the hotel. There was only me and another couple (from Newcastle Australia lol) so it was extra good. Saw movie star homes and places where different movies were shot. Also went to Santa Monica Beach (great) - Venice Beach (Kinky) - Rodeo Drive (Ridiculously expensive) - Sunset Strip (colourful)
Below is the building where Richard Gere "rescues" Julia Roberts at the end of "Pretty Woman"
Below is the toilet outside the Beverley Hills Hotel that George Michael got busted at lol
Below on Rodeo Drive is a beautiful Bugatti
Rodeo Drive bargains - a jacket for $60,000 and a mink tablecloth (WTF) for $150,000
Below is Lucille Ball's house
Below are the front gates to the Playboy Mansion - Unfortunately they dont let wrinkly 60 year old women in - no matter how much I begged. Pity the same doesn't go for Hugh Heffner lol
Below is the house where Michael Jackson died :(
Below is Rydell High School !! Actually Venice Beach high School in real life
