L, I need to know about EVERYTHING!! We've NEVER been! =)

you can do a gazillion things there!!!!

- amusement parks GALORE - Disney...CA Adventure...Universal...Magic Mountain


- Beverly Hills and tour of the stars home...you can buy a map off the side of the road...so much fun...We took our niece to Ozzys house and the garbage men opened their gate and she was able to run inside and take pictures...

also the Hollywood sign...I can give you directions if you want...its a bit hard to find


- Santa Monica - they have a great pavillion area - where you can find great restaurants and shopping...and the beach of course!!! This is an ideal place to stay if you haven't booked yet


- La Brea tarpits...not much...but cool to see


- drive up the coast PCH to Santa Barabara...great views

PCH is awesome!! So is Malibu & Zuma

Erica the Hollywood sign is so covered in graffiti when you get close, isnt it funny?
it was when I saw it, you don't see it from far away!

I love LA! How long are you going to be there? What kind of stuff do you think you'll want to do?

The six flags there is amazing! 100 times better than here. Universal studios was sooo much fun.

Santa Monica is beautiful - go to the pier!

Rodeo Drive was fun - wish I could have spent more time & money

Drive up and down the Pacific Coast Highway - breathtaking!

Sooo much more --- give us some ideas!

We did all of this. Had a great time!

whats our price range here?

santa monicas plaza equivilent

more affordable alternative

Ok....things I highly recommend:

Rent a convertible!

The Wyndam BelAge is all suite, and is beautiful and realtively affordable. It's off La Cienega and near everything. It overlooks Beverly Hills and the rooftop pool is in so many movies it's hard to count. It was used on Sex and The City when they did they LA shows.

Do the PCH drive. Rent a car and go up from LA to Carmel, and do the 18 mile scenic drive around Pebble Beach. It's breathtaking. Leave early, drive all day and take pictures, and have dinner in Carmel, the town and shop are incredible!! It's a very easy drive, you can't get lost...just follow the water.

In LA:

Nightlife...definintely hit Sunset and go to the Viper Room and see who is playing. Also the Roxy. Very Beverly Hills 90210. LOL.

The Spider Club at the Avalon. Great lounge, make a reservation and eat there. Great atmosphere...very LA!

Definitely shop Rodeo and spring for lunch on the Drive...you will definitely have star sightings.

Hit the Hustler Store on Sunset with Todd! It's HILARIOUS!

Go to Knots Berry Farm and be kids for a day!

If you are going to tour houses, buy a map and do it yourself. It's better than the canned tours.

If you or Todd are into music, go Guitar Center on Sunset and look around, the guitars and memorabilia are amazing.

I will email you directions to Ozzy's house..he lives down the block from my uncle.



I will email you the rest...I have to go do something for work! lol.

He was looking at the St. Regis or Four Seasons?

we just don't know.. b.c we've never been.
