Right first things first...... Despite the speculation, my Bon voyage party in Vegas was in no way 'wild' compared to the uk party (except talking my way into the VIP area- that was pretty cool) but the UK Bon voyage was still the bestest!!!!

The last 2 days in LA have been AMAZING!!! And it is a thanks to ashok mama and Nalini Aunty....
I saw the infamous Hollywood sign ( from at least 2 different angles)

Did the Walk of Fame (walked all over Will Smith and Bradley Cooper woo hoo) a random guy handed me a CD at this point and when he found out I was from England, he signed the CD so I could make a claim to fame when he made it big....... It was promptly snatched away from me when I said I had no money to make a donation to his career!! Will defo remember him when he's 'big'!

Stood at the grand entrance to the Oscars Hall (why did no one tell me to pack a ball gown?!!!)

Visited The famous Zip Code 90210

Visited Venice beach - possibly the weirdest beach ever!

Drove down Rodeo Drive Rodeo Drive Rodeo Drive (yes I'm jumping up and down!!!!! Love love love rodeo drive) everyone will be pleased/shocked to know I DID NOT BUY A THING......it was tough but I did it!!!!

The last 2 days was also 'first time' for many things....
Food/drinks

Eating Idli sambhar (south Indian dish) with red wine!!! Don't knock it till you've tried it

Jalapeño pretzel with freshly squeezed lemonade

Authentic iced Mexican margarita

Meeting family
Ashok Mama and Nalini Aunty ( THE COOLEST TOUR GUIDES EVER)
Minal and Noni (wishing I could have spent more time with them)

And of course.........
SURVIVING MY FIRST EVER EARTH QUAKE!!!! (4.7 on the Richter scale)
I was naturally oblivious to the whole thing till my aunt told me ...... BUT California news said I survived it and I'm sticking to that story!!!!
