Today was our last day in the USA after a hectic, fantastic 2 months! We got up early and checked out of the hostel, retreiving our stuff from our safety deposit box for the last time! We then had a looooong day of sitting around by the pool at a table with power so that we could use the tablet! We calculated our total spending for America....too much! Hopefully we'll spend less elsewhere... At 8pm, we went to the office for our free transfer shuttle to the airp...

Did pretty much the same thing today - sat by the pool eating the free food and updated the blog some more using the computers. We're getting ready for what it will be like in Fiji! Started sorting our rucksacks out late afternoon and decided to finish packing in the morning as our flight is not until 11:30pm and we don't have to check out until midday. Went to the bar for champagne time and got talking to a different barmaid who was working called Selma. She wa...

Didn't do much today, just relaxed by the pool and made the most of all the free stuff on offer. Got up at 10:30 in time for free freshly baked blueberry muffins for breakfast.

Had a swim then at 3pm it was cookie time so we had 2 each with some coffee! We went back to the room, showered a...

Our bus to LA wasn't until 1pm so we didn't have to rush this morning (for once!). We got to the Greyhound station in time after a longwinded bus journey - we had to change buses at the airport since it was Saturday and the direct ones only run on weekdays. At the station Dave went off to buy supplies for the journey and I phoned my parents for a catch up. We arrived back in LA after a straight forward, direct bus. The hostel we were staying at had instructions ...

Today we decided to go and see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, as it had already been out for a week and we were both desperate to see it. We caught the bus to downtown and went to Horton's Plaza, which is a big outdoor shopping centre on 5 floors. We bought our tickets to see the film in 3D then went to get some lunch at one of the places in the food court. Dave had a clam chowder soup bowl which he'd had his eye on since we first saw them in San Fr...
