Today we fly - yay! S mini drama when we left the hotel as the hoppa to the terminal didn't seem to want to arrive but then it did so phew! Shame terminal 2 was delayed as we ended up rammed in terminal 3. We did see the actor Simon Callow though - another famous sighting at an airport to add to Chris de Burgh and Piers Morgan! To be fair it was pretty swift through security and not much of a wait for the flight. Daniel is loving Thai Airways as we have the first row behind the crew area so loads of leg room and wall mounted TVs with loads to choose from - also he's had free Chang beer! The airline has changed it's route to avoid the Ukraine which is obviously a peace of mind and we are now over the India/Bangladesh border, pretty near the Sunderbans actually.
Oh the reason the title is this is because we watched The Lego Movie and that was their really catchy song! We also watched Anchor Man 2 which was funny. Not long left now though in Thailand's time it is actually tomorrow so it's not good night but good morning!
A collection of thoughts, travels and interests...as well as those comical moments that everyone wishes to forget!

Off to LA-LA Land!
Today we move on - had a great time here in SF but won't miss the weather! Having mow sussed out the public transport system in SF we easily get ourselves to the airport and all checked in with plenty of time to grab lunch over looking the planes.
The flight was not very eventful except the very smelly man sitting next to me who thought he'd tell us all about LA. Nice of him though he stank!!
Getting off the plane and waiting for our bags we instantly noticed the heat! Oh yeah - it was red hot!!
When in LA the easiest way to get around = taxi. The place is a concrete jungle of vast expanse and public transport would have been a nightmare! Taxi is easy - door to door. And when arriving at our hotel they were doors manned by attendants that you don't even need to open them yourself! Needless to say our hotel was by our standards posh! Located on Avenue of the Stars, next to the old Fox Studios, down the road from Century City and Westfield.
We didn't do a great deal once we arrived - had tea at Rock Sugar which was awesome, then headed 'home' so we were fresh and ready for what LA had to throw at us!

What's the obsession with Toblerone?
Two films down and still plenty of time left on this flight. Though it's not been too bad so far. Iron Man 3 wasn't all that though I did miss most of the explanation of the plot due to too much coffee and an emergency toilet visit. The end of 42 was good though on these flights you can't select when to start it so I missed the beginning due to a drama with my lunch tray. The lasagne was OK - well for plane food! We have been travelling for practically a day now what with the train to London, a very squished tube ride to Heathrow and now. Never a fan of travelling in someones armpit on the tube!
As we travel over the beginning of Canada from looking at the map I begin pondering about airports. Mainly - what is the obsession with Toblerone? Everywhere we went there were piles of the chocolate - Smiths, Duty Free - Why? Who knows.
Anyho back to our flight, still over the northern reaches of Canada with some awesome views out of the window of great expanses of white glistering ice - we took a photo - it looks like outer space! At this point Daniel starts signing 'Trapped in the mighty darkness of the Tundra' - a song I've never heard of but the Mighty Boosh apparently sum the area up nicely - 'Ice ice nowhere to go!' - Well it could melt not to get too geographical about it!
Woohoo Codeword almost done - don't think I've ever completed one before (though Daniel is doing most of it!)
Codeword now complete - Yay!!
According to our flight map we are just crossing the border from Canada to the USA so shouldn't be too long before we land in San Francisco!
Lets hope it's not San Fran Foggy!!
