So we finally arrived in Chicago late last night. I’m horribly jet lagged after the 28 hour trip from Melbourne. We had a 8 hour layover in LA, so we jumped in a taxi and headed for Venice Beach and Santa Monica for the day. I gotta say how great the service was on the Qantas flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles. We had one of the cutest guys looking after us on the flight. We even had bottles of champagne given to us as we left the plane! I thought those things were for people flying up the front end of the plane. So it was very nice to be spoilt. I slept for about 7 hours before the brekky trolley came around and we landed in LA.
We were lucky enough to get in to the lounge at LAX so we could shower and chill out for a little while. I really love the board walk down at Venice Beach. And Muscle Beach…. HELLO! Our pale winter faces looked so out of place on the beach. So we headed over to the Santa Monica pier for lunch and then headed back to the airport. The flight to Chicago was fairly uneventful. The city is a little quieter then I thought it would be. No I just need to get past the jet lag so I can start having some fun.
