We drove from Running Springs in our huge Lincoln car down the mountain and into the Big City. Amazingly, the GPS found exactly where we needed to park and it only cost $10US for 24hours. We grabbed a hop-on hop-off bus for the day $35US each. Glenn not too enthusiastic.
The bus took us all around Hollywood Boulevarde and then down Rodeo Drive and on to Santa Monica Beach and its pier. Then all around the streets where the rich and famous shop, eat and live. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was the longest four hours of Glenn's life. :-)
Glenn had organised in advance that we were to leave the city no later than 7pm, so with me dragging my heels and kicking and screaming, we left the hustle and bustle of LA and drove to the airport - bumper to bumper (lucky Glenn made me leave when we did or we would have missed the plane).
Car rental return went like a dream and they drove us to the airport, where upon completion of check-in we visited the QANTAS lounge (so very happy Glenn wanted to join this).
The flight left a little delayed, but we arrived exactly on time in Tahiti this morning at 5am. Glenn and I were greeted by a muscly Tahitian with Leis for both of us and a mercedes to drive us to our hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, we were chauffered down to our OVERWATER BUNGALOW and didn't have to touch a bag or a door - the porter did it all for us.
I AM SOOOO EXCITED WITH OUR ROOM. It is gorgeous - it has it's own balcony, swimming deck with shower, King bed, bathroom with separate double vanities. Bath robes, beach towels, etc etc.
Glenn has already dived into the water, but I wanted to catch up on this blog. We shall go off to breakfast soon, then spend the rest of the day sleeping in the sun on our own PRIVATE deck.
p.s. We even get to order the pillows of our choice from reception !!!
