Now comfortably installed at Fairmont Hotel Newport Beach, LA, after the usual waiting around and long flight. We got to LA about 7.30pm and shuttled to hotel – zoomed along freeway at 70-80 miles/hr and fell into bed. Had excellent views of expansive snowy peaks and plateaus of Greenland and Canada as we flew across and then impressive view also of Las Vegas and the Strip as we approached towards LA.
Now off to lounge around the pool area for a few hours and then will spend a few hours at Balboa Village, strolling the Boardwalks and Pier and fitting in a few shops along the way.
