Shared a shuttle to LAX with two other couples and said our goodbyes as Brian & Marg were flying to Vancouver and Jeff & Dawn were flying back to Australia later that night. We had to stay overnight as our flight to Brisbane was not leaving until late the next evening. Lucky we happened to be standing in the right area for a shuttle bus to take us to our Hotel which was located in the Airport area.
Had a great sleep in the next day and did not have to check out until noon. To fill in the day before our late flight out, we booked Star-Line VIP Tours and checked out Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, Sunset Strip and had a quick walk around in Beverley Hills. Back to Sunset Strip, Fox Studios then onto Avenue of the Stars where we walked around for a while. Grabbed a late lunch at Grove/Farmers Market before heading back to Hotel arriving approx 6.30pm.

Grabbed our bags and caught the Shuttle to LAX where we changed our clothes, checked in and departed Sunday 21/10 at 10.30pm. Was a bit tired with days activities so was able to catch some sleep on the flight home. Touched down in Brisbane at 5.30am on 23/10 - no idea where Monday 22/10 went!!

What a fantastic experience we have had and many memories of a wonderful trip. Having said that there is no place like home!
