As we relaxed in our Hollywood apartment on our second last evening, Ross asked me what I would like to do on our final day in LA. I figured it would probably be a good idea to spend the last day chilling out and relaxing. Ross had other ideas. He reminded me that I had […]
Although the Griffith Observatory wasn’t originally on my list of places I wanted to visit, we were able to see it from our accommodation and curiosity got the better of me. On a gloriously sunny day, Ross and I spent a couple of hours exploring the observatory. There are many cool and fascinating exhibits inside […]
I was disappointed that I never made it to Santa Monica Beach earlier in the day. I think it was due to this that I felt as though I should try to do something else. I therefore convinced Ross we should visit the Getty Center. Though neither of us are particularly interested in art exhibitions, […]
I didn’t feel very well after my thrilling experience at Magic Mountain the previous day. However, I was aware that Ross and I only had a short time left in LA and I was determined to make the most of it. I had a list of places I still wanted to visit, one of which […]
Normally when I am ready to move on to explore somewhere different I am filled with excited. This wasn’t the case when I was leaving San Francisco. On the Friday morning we were leaving, I genuinely felt a tinge of sadness. We had managed to fit in so much but there was more I still […]
As the previous day visiting Alcatraz and exploring SF had been so full-on, I understandably woke up on the Wednesday morning feeling rather poorly. Not one to be defeated on my dream holiday, I rested up for the entire morning and then got myself up and ready to head out for some lunch. Thankfully I […]
As the previous few days had been so jam packed, we started off Monday with a much needed lie in before leaving our apartment in Santa Clara and heading for San Francisco. I was so excited to finally be visiting SF as it is somewhere that had been sitting near the top of my bucket […]
On football Sunday Ross and I headed to our first ever NFL game! We had booked tickets to a 49ers pre-season game against the chargers. Ross is the 49ers fan (I support the Ravens) and though I pretended to be grumpy and disgusted about putting on a 49ers jersey (as a joke to wind up […]
When I was younger I thought I’d quite like to be a marine biologist. As it turned out, I discovered I get sea sick on a boat and marine biology was actually one of my least favourite modules at university. However, I did love the module we did on whale and dolphin biology and I […]
Back in August 2014, Ross and I took a trip to California. It was somewhere we had always wanted to visit and when we saw that US Airways were doing cheap deals to LA, we just had to go! We had booked the trip in the May and frustratingly, my health deteriorated quite significantly in […]
