Today was our last day in California. Our flight wasn't until 23:30 and our shuttle was booked for 18:00 so we had one last day in West Hollywood. Trying to spend as little money as possible we checked out at 11:00 and made brunch! A turkey and spinach omelette on wheat pitta which was filling and good! We spent some time face timing the family as we didn't know what wifi would be like in Fiji. We then headed out walking up Melrose to do some window shopping w...

So we ordered breakfast in bed and went out for dinner! Hollywood Dailies the second night for a pre-show fe...
