Day 1 and 2: And I'm Off....

5:00am so excited can't sleep anymore

6:30 leave for the airport

7:55 SFO to LAX

10:00 Rito plays hookie and picks me up from the airport in his sporty red mustang convertible...really felt like I was on vacation riding around on those wheels! We head to Hermosa (?) Beach, stroll around the area he explains is sometimes used for the filming of Laguna Beach and grab 2-for-1 brunch with a rooftop view of the ocean. We visit Magellan's, a great little travel store, for me to pick up a few last minute goodies. I got to see his condo in Santa Monica, do some window shopping in Beverly Hills, grab a nibble at the ever-so-trendy Sprinkles Cupcakes and sip an early evening margarita at Sky Bar before heading back to the airport.

Not too shabby for a 12 hour layover if you ask me! Thanks Rito :)

21:00 LAX to London, Heathrow...

18:00 (the following day) Heathrow to Rome...!
