Day one in Burbank, California: took a VIP Warner Brothers Studio tour. It was one of the best studio tours we’ve been on. The groups are small, around 12 people at a time, and we were taken right past working sets. We rode through the back-lots on a small tram vehicle and we were allowed to get off and peek inside the sets. We were then taken to the front lot, this is where all the current TV shows are filmed. We were really lucky to see some actors rehearsing their lines. At the end of the tour, we got to see the Warner Bros. museum, which houses memorabilia from the entire 70 years of their history.
The next day, after having a wonderful breakfast at our hotel, which, by-the-way, gave us a great deal because we booked online. For more information: this site was the best we’ve found. We went to the Civic Center in Los Angeles, we just hung around in case anything exciting happened, nothing did, so we went to Little Tokyo not far from the Civic Center and had lunch. At lunch we marvelled at having a two week vacation, made us feel more relaxed about what we wanted to do, if we wanted to we could just switch our activities to another day.
Day three, we headed back into Los Angeles and visited the famous Farmers Market and the new outdoor mall called the Grove, which is now attached to the Farmers Market. The Farmers Market was fantastic. There was so much to eat, so many wonderful smells and we just fell in love with the relaxed atmosphere. We then walked over to the Grove, what a great outdoor mall, there’s even a streetcar and a fountain that’s timed to music. Most of the major anchor stores are there. We were hoping to spot a celebrity, we here they come here all the time, but no such luck.
Days four, five and six were spent at the beach in Santa Monica. That place is a total blast, there’s so much to do there, like eating and shopping and then eating. We decided to check out of our hotel and drive up the Pacific Coast Highway. We haven’t made reservations with any other hotels, but we figured with that online site we mentioned above, we’d have no problems with booking online when we are at a coffee shop with free wi-fi.
