Hope you see some whales, Rockinronda...
 

of both the Los Angeles celebrity type as well as along the Coast of CA. I have seen some migrating killer whales going either way along the ride from SF to L.A. http://www.best-california-beach.com...alifornia.html

Hey Rhonda, here's some L.A. info from the internet:



The 5: Southern California’s main north-south freeway
Amoeba: A really good new and used music store in Hollywood
Big Boy: Morning radio personality on Power 106-FM
Bev-Wood: Beverly Hills/Hollywood/Brentwood area
Canter’s: 24-hour deli in Hollywood
Gravity Hill: A spot in Altadena where your car, in neutral, rolls uphill
Kevin & Bean: KROQ morning DJs
The Laemmle: Independent film theater in Pasadena
The No Future: Café in Pasadena with live bands
NoHo: North Hollywood
OC: Orange County
PCH: Pacific Coast Highway
The Rock: Eagle Rock
SaMo: Santa Monica
Sigalert: Freeway traffic alert—at least one lane of traffic tied up from more than 30 minutes
South Pas: South Pasadena
The Strip: Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood
The Troub: The Troubadour Club in Hollywood
WeHo: West Hollywood

More info:
In L.A. COUNTY (not neighboring Orange, San Bernadino and Riverside as of yet), there is a brand new way to call for help on the road.

# 399 is a new code that has just been implemented and utilized within L.A. county that is meant for motorists in a bind, especially on the freeway, who happen to have a cell phone. The bind would be a case such as a driver having a flat tire who has pulled to the side of the road. A call to #399 would be to have assistance for the driver. Note that #399 is only accessible by using a cell phone.

The code is helpful to take relief off the very occupied 911 system. Routine problems on the road will be eased with #399 but for very threathening situations, such as a car being hit and blocking traffic flow, a call to 911 is still the better option!

#399 is available in English, Spanish and does extend itself to service other languages. L.A. is home to speakers of about 150 languages!

More:
Everywhere you go and shop you have to pay 8.5% more in tax. The tax is not included in the price. So don't be suprised that you have to pay more at the counter.

About some restaurants:
http://cache.virtualtourist.com/1/19...os_Angeles.jpg
When you are in Los Angeles, either in the city of L.A. or in another part of the county, you'll see several restuarants. On the window of establishments, you will see a letter- either an "A", "B" or "C". These letters go accordingly to the quality of food preparation and overall kitchen standards of any place that regularly handles and serves food. As one would imagine, an "A" is a superior quality, "B' is for the most part acceptable and "C', is , well, below average and simply, unsatisfactory. Most often, you will see "A" or "B" but there are quite a number of "C" on some windows. The letter system of grading restaurants is meant to be a guide for restaurant guests. Take it for what it is.



Have fun and enjoy yourself and keep us posted!!!

Do post and blog. We will all live with your experiences vicariously. BTW I will be in the airport tomorrow morning for a 10 am flight also. What airline are you flying?
