Well folks, it’s almost here. Yours truly goes to Hollywood in just 6 days. Really it’s only 5 days because we have to get up around 3:30 a.m. to catch our 5:40 a.m. flight. My 13-year-old and 9-year-old sons are coming with me. Because I don’t have a per diem to spend on parking like all my previous business trips, we will be parking in the farthest parking lot at the airport. I believe it’s considered the Chartreuse Color Parking lot and it’s a nickel for a 24-hour period or a dime per hour. It’s also probably 20 miles away from the terminal:
Now, when I took the above screen shot, I broke into hysteria for about 2 minutes as I looked at the color of the parking lot I and it’ really is chartreuse! I didn’t even mean for that to happen. I just tried to pick one of the more obscure colors out there and we really are parking in the chartreuse parking lot!
What To Expect?
Starting Monday and running through either Friday or Saturday, I am going to post every day about Hollywood and our experiences. Flying across the country with 2 boys is comical in its own but drop 3 Midwesterners in Hollywood and you have material to kingdom come.
P.S. Under no circumstances will I eat sushi. Steak yes, sushi no. f
Good luck and safe travels! Have fun! Will we be hearing from you here while you’re gone?
Yes, yes and more yes! I plan to write every day! Can you imagine the material Los Angeles can give me? It’ll be priceless!
That’s good! I’m looking forward to it!
EXCITING!! Looking forward to the updates.
Thank you! I can’t wait to write them! I hope to start as soon as I’m on the plane. As you know, just board a flight can be humorous occasionally.
Looking forward to hearing about this adventure!!
And Lord knows it will be! That will be half the fun!
You could take an Uber from the parking lot to the airport… just sayin’. And if you can request vehicles (I don’t know, I’ve never used Uber), you should go for a black escalade. That way when you and your boys get out, people will think your shit don’t stink. Get the whole vibe going before you get to LA.
I like the way you think!!! LOL! I’m guessing it’s really only a mile away but still, I’m spoiled from when I could park in the covered garages of the parking lot. Don’t be surprised if there isn’t a “fuck it” post and I pay the $18/day for 5 days to park in this parking lot. When I get frustrated enough, I go off and spend WAAYYYYY more than I should. When you do use Uber, I think you’ll like it. I’ve never had a negative experience.
Ooooo make sure you come back to us! Can’t wait to read all about your trip!
I will! I will! You know I will! But when I come back, don’t be surprised if I wear sunglasses inside…everywhere. That is one of the most odd things I found in L.A. last time. They wore sunglasses inside. Were they trying to give off the air of being famous? Lord knows they weren’t. P has his Dollar Store aviators ready to go!
Haha!! My brother wears his inside but he’ll flip them up into the top of his head – like seriously? Just leave them in the car haha
Have fun!! I’m a California native, so I’m looking forward to hearing about what you think of the place. In Venice Beach I had a man offer me money to take pics of my feet. So watch out for that guy.
Where did you live in California? And how much money to take pictures of my feet? I’m just asking for a friend. Can I leave my socks on? Again, just asking for a friend. 😉
Have fun there won’t you? Are you going to see your star in the street?
I will have fun and I’m going to write about it every day! Gosh, I would love a star in the walk of fame!
I’ll look forward to all the posts on it then ?
