hi everyone..............


been away and so glad to be back but sure am feeling dead tired.

got back on tuesday morning and first thing was to quickly unpacked everything, washed some dirty clothes, wipe the luggages and put them away.

too tired so cooked some instant noodles for kids and myself and all fell asleep before 8pm.

fell ill on the trip so ds and i went to see dr on wed. boy, i am one who would feel sleepy just by taking cough syrup. so though it has to be taken 3 times daily, i can only take once at night otherwise. :snooze:

anyway, here is a summary of my trip.

day 1
------

flew via thai airway. transit at bangkok. both flights were pretty okay. but a bit disappointed with the food. service so so.

got into la at about 6 pm and dh was there waiting for us (he was there an hr earlier than us). took shuttle bus to sheraton gateway to spend a nite there.

very tired cos cant sleep well on the plane.

Lovely weather, sunny on some days in fact.. We wanted to travel out of Paris but was lazy..spent last days at Eurodisney.

Will return when DS is older for outside Paris..
Stratford and Oxford in uk really nice..

[LOLMum]

oh yeah, i think you did said you are going to london.


stratford upon avon (shakespear) - we are talking about the same place right?

if yes, agree with you. we went to the campsite and stayed at a caravan for a few days. shakespear’s house was a good tour.

oxford, the 校园文化 kinda feel is so great. everyone looks so smart and like nobleman. like 贵族.

am gonna continue with my trip posts tomorrow.

Me jet lag de.. ..watching drama still...

Tell us about la later ok.. Did you go to Magic Mountain?

[LOLMum]

thanks lkvm .



this sotong mum packed everything (including the kitchen sink) but forgot to put in the camera charger (also forgot to charge battery).

so only very few photos. :sad: luckily my kids and dh dont really like to take pictures so .

[LOLMum]

hi auntiem, no we didnt go to magic mountain.


day 2
------

after a nite of good sleep, it felt good to wake up next to dh.

we got a car from avis and drove to santa monica pier and spent the day there playing on the beach. sunny and windy and a bit cold but some people were sunbathing on the beach and surfers were waiting for the perfect wave to come in.

ds loves it cos the beach was really clean and the feel of the sand and water on his feet got him so excited. it wasnt crowded on the beach and most people prefer to stayed on the pier.

we went to bubba gump ( a seafood restaurant chain inspired by the 1994 film Forrest Gump) for lunch. wow, the seafood was really fresh and the set i ordered had a huge chunk of crab, a good size lobster, more than 10 prawns, mussels and clams each. all steamed and i love it but honestly it is still way off the good seafood i had in scotland.

dont like dh and dd's orders cos' it was done deep fried and in silly portion. dh thought the place was over rated.

after a long meal, it was about 3 pm so we decided to continue on our way to disneyland.

we followed the gps and got there slightly over an hour cos of traffic jam. dh was the driver and did a good job but obviously he wasnt awared that the left lane was for speeding cars so have to remind him to stick to middle lane.

but heck, we singaporeans are not the only ones who love to speed up when we see someone on the next lane signalling to switch lane. drivers there also the same and i saw some drivers giving fingers (not hi five okay :evil: ).

got to disneyland (sheraton again) and friend took us out for dinner. we had korean food. the kimchi and beef were good.
