Los Angeles

I really don't know what I expected of Los Angeles, I heard it was ridiculously laid-back, and unlike any other part of America, but I still had no clue what to expect. My first day was challenging, as usual we had problems with being on standby, so my dad and I went first and my mum and sister followed the next day. The weather was exactly how my mother had described it 'Los Angeles fog' The morning was cold and foggy, but brightened up in the afternoon, what brightened it up even more was my aunt coming down to see us from Tennessee! It's so nice being able to meet up with her as we live so far apart, and as usual when we were together, we got up to all sorts of adventures!

Days out!Los Angeles is perfect for days out, and there's a range of activities depending on budget and adventure level! If you have a small budget, just taking a walk along the coast is perfect. With breathtaking sea views and golden sand, it's amazing if you just want to take a casual stroll, or go for a nice jog along the sea front. Also, walking along the Hollywood walk of fame is completely free! The only problem would be the parking because you really, really don't want to be finned! If you're willing to spend a bit more, there are plenty of days out-children of all ages will love universal studios! With amazing rides like 'the Simpson 3D'  transporting you into Springfield, and 'Jurassic park - the ride' gets you up close and personal with a T-rex! 

I would give days out in LA 8/10 for entertainment and value for money!



Food
The food in LA ranged slightly, I'm a huge lover of healthy foods, so I absolutely loved all the fruit drinks and salads they provided! But let's be honest, you can't go on holiday without having a  few little treats..Well I say little...THE PORTIONS WERE HUGE! It's okay to have a burger and fries occasionally, but when they're that big, it's a little off-putting!

I would give the food 6/10 in LA - If the portions weren't so big, I would give a higher rating.

Accommodation

The hotels and the hospitality we received were nothing short of perfection! Everything was sparkling clean, and the hotel staff were wonderfully kind and welcoming! We even received free cookies from one hotel!

I would give accommodation in LA 10/10 because of the wonderful experiences we had!

We were lucky enough to have two parts to this trip! So I will be posting a blog about Hawaii very soon!
