Plannin a trip to Los Angeles

We are planning to go to Vegas for a few night then drive to Los Angeles The dates we have set would be from 8/24/03 to 9/2/03. What are things that we can do in Los Angeles? We have already planned to go to Disneyland for a day or two. What else? I know there is alot to do but any advice will help.

Thanks.

I lived here for 3 yrs.

Go take a tour of the Star's homes, go to Hollywood Blvd, see the original Frederick's of Hollywood, Mann's Chinese theatre, the walk of fame, the wax museum...

Go to Melrose Ave & SHOP!!!!

At night visit the Sunset Strip, go to some clubs there if you are into that.

Drive down PCH if you have the time, it's breathtaking!

Go to the Santa Monica Pier, it's so fun!

Go to Venice Beach it's fun there also.

I can go on & on....

Let's see ...

1. Venice Beach is always fun. It is a bit out there- but definetly fun.

2. Universal Studios get you into the whole Hollywood scene.

3. Personally I like going to Newport Beach and walking around - fun restaurants and shops.

hmmm... I will let you know if I think of anything else.

YAY for you!!!!!!!!!!!

mine will just really emphasize Jennbabys..

**Santa Monica Pier
**Hollywood Blvd...Manns Chinese Theatre
**Tour of the stars homes...you can get a bus to take you...but my sister and I bought a map off an old lady on the side of the street and did it ourselves...it took more energy...but it was a lot of fun
**the Hollywood Sign
**La Brea tarpits (total scam...but so touristy)
**Universal Studios (the theme park)...they have the Jurassic Park ride...which was not in FL (not sure if it is now...)and it was AWESOME!!
**Beverly Hills...Rodeo Drive
**my sisters friend lived in West Hollywood...and he said that he would go to the supermarket and run into stars all the time...but we never did go
**don't laugh...but my sister and I had to go to San Demas and Encito...based ont he movies...San Demas has a water park as well (not Waterloo though...from Bill & Ted's)

I have no info, just wanted to say sounds great Kathy! You will have fun, fun, fun!

we're stoping there for a day or two also .. even tho im from cali i know barely anything about LA
