Universal Studios
After a bit of a sleep in and a yummy breakfast we headed off to Universal Studios. First ride the new Simpsons ride and it ROCKED!!!! Charli was a bit scared but ok after awhile. We did try the Haunted House but had to leave as I had 2 young ladies who were very very afraid - LOL!!!!
We went on all the attractions and had a totally excellent time. Got to see Jaws up close and personal and it rocked. Always remembered my Dad being there and was excited to do it myself and I must admit with my 2 precious girls. The nice thing was they thanked me all day for taking them.
We at at Bubba Gump and it was nice. Big Big Big meals, they are all so huge it is totally ridiculous.
Well back at the hotel and resting our feet, off to San Diego tomorrow and me driving which the kids are a bit scared of, but they will survive.

The Plane Trip
Well we get to Sydney airport with plenty of time and then onboard all excited for the trip and a delay. The 4th engine didn't want to start - back to the docking bay to get the engineers to have a look at the problem. Fine by me, would rather a problem on the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!
So 2.5 hours later sitting in the plane, we are ready to go and off, off, off we go. It was a very, very and I mean VERY long trip. The girls slept well, I didn't get any sleep, was too worried about the girls being comfortable. I am TOO nice !!!
So we get to LA Internation Airport and it was warm, muggy and got my finger prints done, eye scan and then baggage claim, not all as bad as I would have thought. Our driver Darren was there to pick us up, which was fabulous. Silly me though went to get into the front seat, ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CAR - DOH !!!!
Got to Beverley Hills, checked-in and straight to Rodeo Drive. I must admit it was nice and hell I ccouldn't afford anything, but I just imagined celebrities walking along everywhere I suppose (how silly we aren't at the movies now!!!). Did see people sitting at cafes with there dogs though!!!
Not a very big day today as I was STUFFED!!!! Had a nap whilst the girls flicked through the 30 odd chanels on TV. Went out for a nice dinner and OMG their meals are HUGE !!!! The girls had a coke each and I have never seen a glass of coke that big.
The girls say HI !!! to everyone and they are having a ball. Off to Universal Studios tomorrow so will chat to you all then.
Cheers.
