We arrived in LA with the flu!!! So our sightseeing was slightly hampered and it meant that we spent a lot of time in our hotel watching TV! Just shows you what a few days at Disney can do to you, we must be getting old! We did stay at a hotel right on Hollywood Boulevard so saw the stars on the pavement and also happened to see a movie being shot. They were shooting a Will Smith Movie (MIB?!) and had dug up the road and strewn expensive, crashed cars on the road...

We arrived in Anaheim at about 7.30pm and ended up walking for about an hour to get to our hotel! This was by default as our taxi driver turned out to be the only rude person we had met in the US and we decided that we would rather walk!! Luckily, we walked in the right direction and ended up finding our hotel eventually - albeit with sore backs!! Monday dawned and we were off to Disney!! I had been looking forward to this day for the last 25 years at least, s...

In addition to Shamu, we saw dolphins, seals, beluga whales, polar bears and penguins, to nam...

We caught a taxi to our first hotel...the HardRock Hotel - we had a HUGE room and a big plasma screen TV - not to...

We arrived in San Francisco, via Houston at around 5pm, tired but excited to be there! After a surprisingly friendly and painless trip through immigration control we located the Bart train system and made our way to Union Square and the heart of San Francisco. The city was bustling and immediately we loved it! We got an early night, after our 2 very early mornings and some much needed rest for our weekend ahead. We were up bright and early on Saturday morning...
