That Fuzzy Feeling

I'm in LA!
AH quite an exhausting traveling day it was for B and I!
Our Greyhound bus (down to Seattle) was supposed to be at 8:45AM so we got there at around 8:25AM...only to find out that they changed the time without notice to 8:15AM so we missed it. I was internally frustrated and annoyed... we went to the Amtrak desk but they leave at 12:30 only once a day and our flight from SEATAC to LAX was at 3PM so we'd miss it. At the end, I called Alaska Airlines and they said w/out a fee, I could catch any of the next flights at 4, 5, 6, or 7PM for no charge on standby - and that there were lots of seats. Sooo B and I caught the next Greyhound down (10:50AM). Luckily, everything after that went smoothly. Seattle staff (at The Westin) where we caught the Airporter shuttle to SEATAC were super nice. Aaaand yea! My luggage was 20 pounds overweight (limit was 50lbs lol) so I put some stuff (mainly waterbottles + liquid) into B's suitcase and chugged 2 bottles of water in 10 minutes. Luggage was still 3 lbs overweight but they let me through w/out having to pay the $25 fee. The flight was very spacious and pleasant. The shuttle from LAX to our hotel was pretty long 'cause we dropped other ppl along the way, but we got here around 9:45PM. WHEW. After clearing some pricing up with the hotel, we settled in (hotel isn't very nice.. it's outdated but it's pretty clean, spacious, equipped w/ a kitchen, bathroom, TV, internet, and heated pool) and walked around Hollywood (omg - we are SO close to the Hollywood and Highland Center.. like 2 min walk away.. and good stores too like Sephora, brand new Forever 21, BCBG MaxAzria, Victoria's Secret, etc.) and had Johnny Rockets burger for a very late dinner. Nothing was really open so I'm excited to look around tomorrow morning!
Anyway, tomorrow should be a full day! Temperature is very comfortable right now (at night).

I'm gone to LA 'til the 20th - will still have internet connection but I'm not sure how often I'll blog.. I'll try everyday though.
