Getting there

We departed from Anchorage Sunday night, beginning our long travel to Australia. We arrived in LAX the following morning with the Lukes friends , the Kreutz crew, waiting to take us on a personal tour of LA. We started our tour off looking for a parking spot in Venice Beach. The day climaxed early with a guy riding a shopping cart, pants around his knees (no undies may I mind u!), stringed cans dragging behind, yelling yahooooo. After Venice beach, we did some shopping in Beverly Hills, saw a few million dollar cars and saw the hotel pretty women was filmed at. After grabbing a burger at in-n-out (Thanks joe) our tour took us to the hills Bel air. what better to do in Bel air than stock celebrities houses! We drove by the Beverly hillbillies mansion, Nickolas cages house, a 40 foot elevated tennis court with a bridge, and some sweet entrance gates. On the way back to the airport we stopped to watch the sunset at Santa Monica pier. After arriving at LAX and saying our goodbyes to the Kreutz crew, we began our 14 hour flight to Sydney Australia.
