A easy, fun read by Sophie Kinsella. I read it in two days. Not annoying like the Shopaholic series.
I took a break! Unintended and far too long. So a quick catch up might be in order.
Hubby and I went home to Australia. For three very short but fulfilling weeks. Hubby's parents came with us. We did quite a bit in the 3 weeks, starting with a day at Disneyland.
Flights from LA to Australia and the South Pacific normally leave late, around 10pm. Because of customs etc the airlines always have us layover in LA for 4-5 hours. There is nothing worse than spending 5 hours in LA airport. So we always fly to LA the first flight of the day (or the night before), spend the day at Disneyland, then hopefully sleep on the 18 hour flight home. Chris and Andrea, friends from Vancouver, were able to join us as well. We had an really fun time. Who says adults without kids can't go to Disneyland?
The small animal with us is Miga. She is one of the Vancouver 2010 mascots, and she had quite the travels with us.
Can you enjoy Disneyland when you're only there one day? Sure you can. We spent the morning at California Adventure - We all enjoyed Soarin', I loved Tower of Terror - not sure about everyone else, we got soaked on Grizzly River Rapids, and had a good laugh at the 3D movie, It's a Bugs Life. I took a time out to do some shopping (I needed Princess Tater, Luke Frywalker and Yam Solo potato heads for my brother), while everyone else continued with the rides).
We headed over to Disneyland around 1pm. We'd all been to Disneyland before at various times in our lives, so we set out for some favourites. Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Thunder Mountain, It's a Small World, Buzz Lightyear...
We also managed to squeeze in lunch at Blue Bayou. It's the restaurant inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It's a little on the expensive side, the food was okay to good, the atmosphere was good, and it's definately worth one visit.
