Landed at LAX five hours before we left the hotel in Fiji, after 15 hours of travelling. Time zones mess with your head.
The girls have been singing 'Party in the USA' from Pitch Perfect on hard rotation with increasing frequency for days now. ("Hopped off the plane at LAX, with a dream in my cardigan..." can those really be the lyrics?! Apparently so...) They even sung it on the way to baggage claim.
We hired the most ridiculous car. 5.6 litre V8 Lincoln Navigator. It's more bus than car. Very big, very smooth, very comfortable, quite ludicrous. Totally LA.
We mooched around Hollywood for a bit then headed up to the Griffith Observatory. Cool working public observatory and mini science museum, with terrific views of the city.

Eventually we made it to Mary Ann & Blair's for great food and way too much wine. Wicked to see them again.
They have a fantastic view from their deck. A view in constant motion.
"so.....I PUT MY HANDS UP, PLAY MY SONG AND I KNOW I'M GONNA BE OK, WOAH WOAH WOAAAAAAAH THERE'S A PARTY IN THE USA!!!!!!!!"
