So, let’s put a quick 2 days here.

Yesterday, was awake for more then 23 hours. Got up in The Netherlands at 6 AM(CET), went to sleep in LA at 5 AM(CET).  The flight was good, but long… 11 hours. But it passed quick because they gave me lot’s and lot’s of food and drinks , and they showed a lot of movies (instead of 2 movies and old series, like the brochure said). (I hope they do the same on my way home as one of the movies is then….. Star Trek !)

What also surprised me in the plane was that all the beautiful female stewards, where or old, or fat or ugly. Don’t misunderstand me. They were very nice, caring and good at what they do…. but….. old, fat, ugly or a mixture. The only attractive steward on board (well bit attractive) was the male steward. But hey I am straight, so only the female passengers had all the fun.

When I arrived in LA it was almost 5PM and I arrived at my Hotel at like 5:30PM.

After arriving at the Ritz Milner Hotel I brought all my stuff to my room and went back downstairs to take a look at the city.
