After our shopping spree with Lissa, she dropped us to _____________ Hotel near the airport & arranged our service in time with our flight to Los Angeles the following day… Linda and I are a little troubled since we haven’t booked a hotel yet in Los Angeles!!! Being a girl scout at heart (yaiks), and independent woman in our own way, sabi namin, bahala na pag dating sa LA, marunong naman tayo mag-Ingles at magbasa… True enough, we managed!!! We remembered the instruction of RTB (our boss) that all airports have at least same structures… that the big board of hotels in the area can be found near the baggage claim area… and its true… even, there’s several phone in the waiting to call & book a hotel, with free pick up from the airport… we chose Ramada Hotel… this time, budget expense is the name of the game…
Our last stop in LA is a side trip… to maximize our stay in the US… we chose to leave the US via different route from our entry point… So, we picked Ramada Hotel, the cheapest among the hotel list & waited for the shuttle service… the hotel is ok naman, service is ok too…we spotted at the hotel reception areas brochures of tours… so, we booked a night trip to Holywood and Beverly Hills… then, thinking that it’s a once in a lifetime trip, we also booked a day tour the following day to Universal Studios…All in all, we spent $100 worth of tour vis V.I.P Tours… wow, turista!!! Naka tsinelas lang naman… hehehehe
So, we only got 30 minutes before the tour bus will make its round at the hotel… There’s a guide during the tour… explaining y LA is called the City of Angels… blah, blah …quite interesting… we saw the famous Promenade building from Leonardo de Caprio’s movie The Aviator…We saw the busy streets with lots of over & under passes that looks “buhol-buhol” from the bus… we passed thru the famous freeways in LA… The night tour covered the following popular places:

1. Beverly Hills- we saw the famous boutique featured in Julia Robert’s Pretty Woman (Boulmiche), Hooters bar – though we did not see a waitress in bikini, we cant see thru outside kasi… we saw the mansion of William Beatty/Annete Benning & Eminem…
2. Rodeo Drive- a 15 minute walk along the popular high end, signature stores… Tiffany & Company, Louis Vuitton, and others… but all stores are closed na… too bad…
3. The famous Walk of FAme with the foot/hand prints of the famous people & celebrities… cyempre, we took pictures of our flip-flop clad feet along side our favorite celebs… hehehehe
We walked along Holywood & Rodeo Drive!!! Drove along Beverly Hills though we haven’t seen the famous HOLYWOOD at the mountain… d ko alam kung saan cya and we did not bother to ask na… There are shops along the streets of Holywood and we brought several LA, Holywood t-shirts….
We saw a Jollibee, McDonalds & Carl’s Jr. food joint… We even ate at Yoshinoya, walking distance from Ramada Hotel…Dami naming nakitang palakad lakad na Pinoy sa LA!!!
