Los Angeles

hi all

this will be my last post from the us. i am going to the airport tomorrow night and then will be on my way home. my flight number is QF94 from lax to melb.

i am staying in hostel on the beach. it reminds me alot of st kilda beach. the weather is nice and warm here, it must be somewhere between 20 and 25 degrees c. almost warm enough to take of my jumper but not quite. i quite like it here in la. most of the people are nice and it has a good atmosphere.

i was in san fransisco the other day for a couple of days. i DID NOT LIKE san fransisco. it was intimidating. the people at the hostel were nice but not just the regualr people. i went to visit fishermans warf but wasn't impressed. i was going to go on tour of alcatraz but there were none more until the next day - so i didn't get to tour alcatraz.

i returned the car to the rental place in la - i didnt have any problems. the papers that i was given by the travel agents said that i had to have the car there by 4pm. i was a little bit worried that i would not get there on time as the drive was supposed to be 5 + hrs (no traffic) and 7 + hrs (with traffic). i left at 9am but got lost trying to get out of the city. the freeways can be very confusing. anyway, because i thought i was going to be late i didnt stop for lunch. i made it by 3pm - yay. i got a taxi to the hostel ($25). i haved booked the bus to the airport tomorrow ($10).

anyway i am about to run out of time

see you all on friday
