Our Southwest flight arrived 20 minutes early, we found the shuttle bus from LAX to the Big Blue Bus stop where we then paid $1 to take us and our luggage to Santa Monica!
The Big Blue Bus is Santa Monica's bus and we will take it back to LAX tomorrow evening and then take the airport shuttle to the International terminal. All again for $1 each! Taxi's are $45 we were told by our hotel.
We spent the afternoon at the Santa Monica Pier, and came back for a rest prior to going out to dinner and hopefully using the Pier as a photo op if the lights are pretty.
We are adjusting to the 3 hour time difference; funny watching Sheppard Smith and O'Reilly in the late afternoon! Also very strange to us hearing people speaking English. We are so used to be landing in a country that is not English speaking that we actually felt more at home when we heard girls walking behind us speaking in French!
Tomorrow after breakfast we will go on the Hollywood tour, then make our way to LAX and eventually after another 8+ hour flight we land in Papeete, Tahiti!
I was able to upload some of the Santa Monica photos here; after tonight just don't know about connectivity. Take a look!
