Hi its Lauren. Our first night we stayed at Holiday Inn a hotel in Hollywood. The next day we went to Universal studios. We went on a tour and saw all the old and new studios sets. The best bit was the dancing cars which was so cool. There was a dinosour water ride that me, dad and Olivia went on. At the end there was a huge drop and it was scary. Universal studios was so fun and extra fun because we got a lollypop. After the fun at Universal studios we went to the walk of fame. When we were walking down the walk of fame we saw a premiare of a movie losers. Also we went into a guinnis world records building. It was colder than we thought.

Getting out of dodge proved a little more of a concern than we first anticipated. Good ole Dad thought that we didn't need a Visa, but someone changed the rules and so we couldn't check in until we went on line to the USA Embassy. Dad was getting a little stressed out until Ean from Dads work came to the rescue (thank you Ean).
After getting to the Airport 3 hours early we finally had to get on the plane almost last.
