Muscle Beach

After Kieran (Yoda from our hollywood hostel) gave us sketchy directions to Santa Monica we eventually arrived there (3 bus rides later)

We checked into our Motel which was cheap but ok, right on the beach front!

We´d sit on the lifeguards station drink the beer, listen to music, chillout and watch the sunset! beautiful!

We spent the first two days just catching some rays on the beach and playing football which was refreshing as it was nice and warm. An hour or so before sunset we´d rush home get changed, buy some beers and head back down the beach for sunset. We´d sit on the lifeguards station drink the beer, listen to music, chillout and watch the sunset! beautiful!

On our last day in Santa Monica we walked down to Venice beach (20 min walk) as there was more going on down their, stalls, skaters, weirdos the lot! we sat on a green patch and spent the day watching the sun go past and the people on their own individual missions.

We had decided that seeing as our flight was at 8am we didnt want to waste money on another night at the motel so we checked out and decided to go to the airport early. Seeing as it was LAX we thought it might be something special with lots to do. HOW WRONG!

The checking lounge was tiny and we had 10 hours to spare. We had to mentally prepare ourselves for a long stint at the airport! shocker!

We eventually checked in and went through to the departure lounge. Our flight was delayed 30minutes, which although doesnt seem long mental we only had 30 minutes to make our connecting flight from Houston Texas to Cancun.

We got off the flight and legged it to our gate, we missed the flight by 2minutes!! gutted! We were put on stand by for the next two flights, but seeing as the obtuce company had overbooked flights to Cancun, we missed both the next 2 flights also.

I decided to kick off (which probably doesnt suprise a few off you). The lady was pretty helpful and after listening to me whine and moan for half hour gave in. We were given $8 each for food and drink, a nights stay at a 4* hotel with breakfast and confirmation we were definately on the first flight in the morning (see complaining does work!). The hotel was great, we had a good nights sleep a decent shower and we´re refreshed for Cancun in the morning.

SPRING BREAK here we come!!!
