Our time in LA-la Land has come to an end - we didn't see many celebs but we definitely saw allot of plastic La-La's!
It makes a change not going to the airport but this time going to the train station. We are Amtraking our way to San Diego. Union Station is nice - old fashioned with massive wooden and leather chairs to wait on - no wonder there are a few homeless in here. What is odd is how quiet it is - at this time of day, 11.30ish at St Pancras the station would be rammed. I guess in a city that has more cars than people who uses the train!
It was simples! Collected our tickets, got a subway then boarded the double decker train. Smooth riding all the way to San Diego. We didn't see much from the train, residential then countryside mainly. We did see Anaheim though no sign of Disneyland. We exited at Santa Fe aka San Diego. Where the station was was so close to our hotel really we walked through the Gaslamp Quarter to F Street to our hotel - Andaz. Doesn't look like much from the outside but it appears in our guide book twice for best club with a view and pool. We were greeted with complimentary drinks and went to our room where we found no end of complimentary items, chips, cereal bar, weird banana chocolate thing and a whole list of items we could ask for if we'd forgotten or run out of. We could get used to this! Not the biggest room but a room for trendy guests. Glass wall separating the sink area to the bedroom.
We know we have a busy time here in San Diego what with Sea World, the zoo and Mexico for tonight we went to a sushi place - Hive. It was great, the sushi was yum and to top it off some dishes were on happy hour!
Happy days!
