We manged by chance at the airport accommodation booth, to find some SUPERB serviced apartments in an area called Potts Point (which we were later to find out is one of the most sought after areas).

We really enjoyed the Bellagio waterfountains - very classy and managed to visit all the main hotels Caesars, Ve...

First stop LA. Have visited Hollywood Blvd and heading off to Rodeo Drive to have a coffee (hot chocolate for Kel) in the Beverley Wilshire Julia Roberts style! Slippery little suckers......
