LA

The 28th, the Thursday we headed for LA. We left early in the morning and arrived around 5 in the afternoon. After checking inn at the hotel which was right next to Hollywood Blv we went down there to look. We walked almost the whole Walk of Fame on both sides. It was looong! It was fun looking at all the different stars and see which one we could recognize, we found a few:) It was a lot of people out walking, and everything was still open. When we walked the strip we also got to see the Kodak Theater and Chinese theater, both of them 5 min from our hotel!

The next day we went to Disneyland. We got up early and drove down. We stayed there basicly all day. It was a lot of fun. We got our pictures taken with the different characters such as Mickey, Tigger and Winni the Pho. We also took different rides such as the Pirates of the Carabian, the haunted house and many others. In the evening they had a parade which we got to see where the different characters danced and sang with other employees of Disneyland.
On Saturday we had ordered tickets to get a tour of Hollywood, see the celebrities homes in Beverly Hills and Bel Air + going to Universal Studios. The operator picked us up early the next day for then to show us Hollywood Blv, where we could walk out by the Chinese theater. That day they were rigging for a pre premier of the new movie Land of Lost starring Will Ferrel, so a couple of celebrities would show up. Unfortunately we had to continue the tour instead of hanging out by the streets all day;) The guide took us up to Hollywood Bowl which is a big outdoor amphi where a lot of concerts is held. After that we drove down to the Sunset Blv to see a couple of the known buildings on the street. He told us places where movies/tv shows have been played, where the stars eat, we even got to see Rachel Hunter and Christian Slater!;) After the Strip we drove up to all the stars home and filming locations. The houses were big!! They had big gates and Jennifer Anistion had four dobbermans to guard her gate if somebody came to close. Hannah Montana had a house there which she recently built and across the street Simon Cowell was building his! Crazy people! After the tour, Karianne and me went to Universal Studios where we got our picture with Homer, Marge and Bart:) They had a really cool Simpson simulator that we took. It was just like sitting in a coaster! We took the Studio Tour which was awesome! They showed us Wisteria Lane, Little Europe, old Western culisses, the set of Jaws and many others. During the tour we got to see a couple of the special effects they are using in the movies which also were tested on us;) There was a show where we could see how they were using special effects in the movies. It was really cool! They showed us how Eddie Murphey played all the roles in the Nutty Professor. How they are having a different setting than what really appears on the screen and such, it was really interesting! We were suppose to do the Mummy ride, but when I discovered it was a rollarcoaster I would not do it. It was gonna go in all different directions maybe if it was a regular coaster with straight forward and just up and down:) After the Studios we got back to our hotel but we went down to the Blv instead. The stars for the movie was already inside since they starting to arrive around 4pm and we did not get back until 6. But we saw a lot of limos and security which was cool enough;)
We did not go out any of the days in LA though, I have an ear infection and was exhausted the nights when we got back. But still I think we managed to see a lot in 2 days!! Both of us could agree that we liked San Francisco better than LA. It was more charming and nicer, while LA was not as great as SF;)

Today, Sunday we left for Las Vegas which was a really short trip from LA. When we arrived we checked inn and start looking around. We are living at the Stratosphere. We explored the hotel some and then I went to the emergency room because of my ear and Karianne was left to win some money to cover the trip:p
