LA Vaca Day 7

Final Day of vacation.

We started off the day by going to Little Tokyo.  We grabbed lunch and then headed to the purikura pictures.  We promised to take them again so we did.  These came out much better.  I keep both sets in my wallet though.  We picked up some last minute stuff and then went back to the hotel.

While we waited for our other friends to arrive, we started packing.  We got most of our things away by the time they picked up up.  Today, we were going to Venice Beach!

LA Vaca Day 1

Recently, I’ve returned from the glorious city of Los Angeles.  Not that it wasn’t fun, but I’ll be honest, LA is simply not my city.  In the end, I’m too much of a New Yorker.  Still, it’s an experience I can check off my list.  It won’t be the first place on my list of places to visit again, but I wouldn’t be opposed to returning for a few days.

I arrived at LAX with my best friend at around 9 in the morning.  The first things I noticed was the palm trees of course.  Don’t see those in NY.  We checked into this cute little hotel called the Ritz Milner.  If you’re looking for a 5 star hotel with room service and a pool and a gym, this isn’t it.  However, if you are looking for a quiet place that’s clean and friendly for an affordable price, you’ll love it here.  The rooms were nice and clean and they have a continental breakfast downstairs everyday.  It’s just danishes, toast, and fruit, but hey, free food!  The only think is that you can’t get extra towels.  When they clean your room, they basically take your towels, wash them, and return them.
