We arrived in LA last night and after sorting our stuff a bit ready for our road trip we ordered breakfast for 5.30 and went to bed.
5.30 day 1 – We were both awake and ready for breakfast.
5.35 – Still waiting.
5.40 – What is there to eat in the room?
5.45 – Finally decided to ring to find out when the meal would be delivered. “Sorry sir I’ll check what happened to your order”.
5.50 – Knock on the door and eggs & bacon on toast are here and ready to be consumed.
We then went to Hertz to pick up our car. They were going to charge us $200 more quoted. “That is because if the taxes Sir” was the response. We showed them our booking which stated ALL taxes were included.
Jo then reminded them that we had free wifi with the booking. The assistant hadn’t heard of such an offer. A voice from behind her said “Yes the offer was from UK and he would sort us out.
Well we now have free wifi with unlimited data 30 mins International calls and 60 US calls.
Good to keep on top of your booking small print.
After picking up our luggage it was off we go. Driving in the States is nit too bad as long as you remember to :-
- Get in the car on the correct side.
- Keep your passenger in the gutter.
- and be prepared for others to over take you on either side if you stick in the middle lane. That includes massive trucks.
We that’s it for more details check Jo’s blog.
Finally here’s the route.
