Alright, so I haven't blogged in a few days because... I'm in LA! Quick recap of everything so far:
THE FLIGHT: First I was denied my business class upgrade. Then it was delayed from 4:15 to 5:55. Then to 7. Then I was stuck in front of a kid who kept kicking my seat over and over again. Then I plod along to the toilet in my socks only to step into a gigantic puddle of god-I-hope-it's-just-water and soak my socks right through. Then every time I was on the verge of falling asleep I was disturbed by something or another, including an idiot steward who decided that he REALLY needed to poke me awake to ask if I wanted breakfast (seriously, did it LOOK like I wanted to eat?). Grrr.
THE CAR: As soon as we got through the ridiculous immigration line, we picked up our car. It's an SUV. I'm really no SUV fan, but this is really nice car. It feels good to have a big car in the US and the roads are so terrible (seriously, they're so run down and potty) that they're almost necessary. We've been having tons of fun cruising in it -- to the point that we actually drove to the hotel, turned around, drove to Jack in the Box and then drove back to the hotel just because driving around was fun.
THE HOTEL: The W is awesome. It's a little weird, because it's basically a nightclub with rooms (seriously -- there's even a line to get in, though naturally I'm on "the list" as a guest), but it's pretty luxurious. Expensive, but so comfortable.
I'll update with more tomorrow because I am SO exhausted.
