Hannah is currently checking the web for another holiday next year, while I am going through three suitcases of washing. We only took 2 cases with us, but much like my trip to Japan, we had to buy an additional case to pack all of the stuff we bought.
So much for decluttering…

What we did
I have a few posts worth from our trip to Santa Monica and Hollywood, as well as a gallery full of photos. Unfortunately, instead of writing this evening, I have been searching for my work pass, which I put in a totally safe place for when I returned. Still haven’t found it.
Most importantly, I have ticked off a number of Kettle List tasks. So for now, here is a rundown, and I will be back with photos and more details later in the week.
#13 Visit 6 out of 7 continents – North America
#21 Visit California – See the Hollywood Sign – Stand on a Star on the Walk of Fame ( Check, check and check)
#39 See a sunrise and a sunset somewhere cool! (Got some great sunset photos)
#44 50 coffees in 50 cities: Dublin, Santa Monica, Hollywood and L.A
#46 Visit 50 coasts – Got some great Santa Monica shots and even video of me putting my toes in the Pacific for the first time.
#47 See 50 cool clocks – Got at least 2 pictures for this one.

So, got lots done
I have 100’s of photos to go through, coursework to finish and a speech to write, but rest assured I will soon be regaling (AKA boring you senseless) with my thoughts, ideas and suggestions for things to do in LA and the surrounding area.
