We were going to Los Angeles first, to visit Allen, a long time friend and his wife Carey, when we got a call from Allen and he told us to pull up this hotel website http://www.hotelsburbank.com: on our Iphone, because he found us a place for the night at a Burbank hotel and this site will give us the directions. What was really great was Allen had paid for our accommodation and even the valet parking! We thought we would be staying with them, but he proceeded to tell us that since he never gave us a wedding gift, that this is his very belated present. Plus, he told us, he has no time to visit with us, so this was another way to make it up to us. After we got off the phone with him, we couldn’t help but be thrilled about staying at a great hotel for the night.

We saw our first sign for Los Angeles and the mountains in the distance, which surround the city were all telling. The highway into the city was wide, about 7 lanes and every lane was packed with cars, we were lucky to be against traffic, because the cars going the other way were almost at a standstill.

Our Iphone gave us great directions to Burbank and to our hotel. It was really nice. Our room was awesome and the beds were very comfortable. It was so close to Universal Studios, to North Hollywood, and Griffith Park. When we got to our room, Allen had them prepare a nice dinner for us in our room and a nice bottle of champagne. We really are going to have to thank him! Wow.

The next morning, we got some breakfast at the hotels restaurant, which was really very good and then we took a tour of LA and then went for lunch at a restaurant in Melrose which had some very awesome organic options on their menus. Unfortunately, our day had to end, because we had more traveling to do, our next stop is San Diego. We really hated to leave our wonderful accommodations, but the ocean was calling us.
