I've been up 12 hours and its just 1pm here!

My day started at 3am. My alarm was set for 3:30, but I woke up so I said 'what the heck' and got in the shower.

Here's the current exchange rates, so I can compare 3 weeks later. Also, gas was around $2.71 on average when I left!

The famous landmark of LAX airport.

Something I learned. If you take one of these
up an escalator (you should really use an elevator), don't let the weight shift to the single wheel up front at the top of the escalator, you end up flipping it and putting all your bags on the ground. As I said, it was something I LEARNED, not saw.


Met my traveling companions, Andy and George, I think we should get along marvelously. We had lunch at Westwood Brewing Company, who doesn't brew anything, anymore! None of us left anything on the plate.

We were are staying (A) and where we ate lunch (E)

We have our indoctrination coming up shortly...more later.
