LAX

Well we've arrived safely at the airport, dropped of the car, got the shuttle bus to our terminal, dropped off the bags, been through security and here we are waiting at the gate. And, frankly what a disappointment LAX is. I think that the airport is arranged into a large number of smaller terminals, and all we have here is a duty free shop, a newsagent/bookstore, a couple of other small stores, and a few places to eat. We were expecting so much more from one of the biggest airports in the world. Maybe some of the other terminals are bigger and better. Disappointingly, whilst there does appear to be free wifi, we can't connect to the internet with it, so the ipad has gone back in the bag and this is coming via email from the Palm.

Not a whole lot to report from today. Finished off packing and then went to IHOP for brunch. Tried to find La Brea mall for a quick look, but the directions from the IHOP cashier turned out to be duff so we gave up on that, went back to the hotel, picked up our luggage and came to the airport.

Looking forward to seeing everyone (and Barley!) really soon, even if it will just be briefly for the cruisers! Still, not too long until the Med cruise!
