The final leg.....
I think the last time I wrote to you was back in Seattle, seems like weeks ago!! Since then we spent a night in Vancouver again, where we went to a NHL game and saw the Vancouver Canucks V Minnesota Wild. Was awesome to see, I love that sport! Kate was shattered cos there weren't any fights!We have spent 5 days in Los Angeles which was heaps of fun. We had a great room in a great location, on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. We spent the 5 days checking out Hollywood Blvd and the Walk of Fame, I got a pic with Trump's Star, and where Kate was stabbed on 3 seperate occasions by Chucky (a midget dressed up as Chucky) which was hilarious for me, but scared the sh*t out of her! We did a Celebrity Homes Tour in a limousine, seeing 50 celebrity homes and during the tour we got caught up in a Papparazzi chase which the driver decided to join. In a matter of seconds, there were literally about 100 4WD's chasing who the driver thought was Jennifer Aniston based on where the car was headed. The Paparazzi were insane, driving on the wrong side, all running reds, speeding, we couldn't keep up! We went to Rodeo Drive a few times, Robertson Blvd, spent a day at Santa Monica and Venice Beach where Arnie used to work out in the open air gym and where White Men Can't Jump was filmed. The Golden Globes were in Beverly Hills while we were there so we went to check it out and were lucky to see a heap of stars, the main ones being Tom Hanks, Jamie Foxx, Dustin Hoffman, Mark Whalberg, Courtney Cox, Cameron Diaz, Will Ferrell, and a heap more! We just spent 2 nights in Vegas which was amazing. We stayed in the Aladdin, one of the best on the strip, opposite the Bellagio (Oceans 11). We checked out all the casinos, gambled (Kate won on the slots, enough to cover 2 nights worth of dinner), but I failed miserably, damn Roulette!!!We just arrived in San Francisco, we're here for 4 nights then back to LA for a night, then we're coming home!!! We're very excited!
