We did a tour of LA. It took us to Venice Beach, Beverley Hills, Farmers Market and Hollywood. Venice Beach was pretty s***, not a nice place at all in my opinion. Beverley Hills was very nice, very fancy and very expensive. Lots of expensive cars too. The Farmers market was good, didn't look around much though. Hollywood was pretty disappointing, very crowded and people on the streets constantly coming up to you and trying to get you to take CDs. We were warned by the tour guide that they would try and get you take them making you think they are free and as soon as you do they will ask for money. Would've liked to have gone to Santa Monica and Malibu.

LA takes a couple of visits to get use to, took me about 5 visits until it sank in, stay away from tourist area's, hence I split LA into 3 parts, South Bay, Hollywood & The Valley, all are different depending on what you want to do. These days I just spend my time South Bay, go north (Hollywood) for hikes, stay away from the tourist traps and enjoy LA like a local. Next time you visit will be better, you have done the bucket list, time to explore the city most tourist never see |

Great report Brandon
The only downside to the In n Out is the constant Southwest 737s - even the special liveries don't excite me. All I can think to myself when the are approaching is 'Boring' (like Homer Simpson)

Thanks Sarah. Yes the constant Southwest 737 arrivals got very boring! The CRJs and ERJs of Delta, United and American Eagle got pretty boring too! But there were lots of good international movements to make up for it.

Nice report
Great report there. I'm a Brisbane local, now living in Portland Oregon for a year or two. LA is an ok place to visit, but after going a few times, yes, there are much nicer places to visit in the US. We go up to Seattle all the time, so Paine Field is becoming a local haunt for me, which is kind of lucky I suppose, although you can spend hours there with hardly a Boeing movement, as you discovered. And your pics of the Air Museum are great, I was kind of shocked how small the seats on the Concorde were, man, that actually didn't look like a comfortable experience. Nice report, it kind of summed up a lot of my time here so far, you did all the right stuff!

Great, simple, true old school style American burgers. Kind of a cult following among fast food burgers here in the West.
