For those of you who enjoy reading travelogues or browsing photos then please feel free to take a look at my trip report of a trip to California.

We had a fun filled time in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Wow, that was really long, and I have to admit I scrolled thru a lot of the "rock & roll" stuff, but it was really helpful. I took a lot of notes for the LA.& San Fran trip that I'm planning for January. Thanks for the details!

Colin, if you get back to LA, check out the Grammy Museum.

Thanks for that Jean. I wish I had known about it before my visit!!

I'm glad you found it useful agswimmer. I hope you have a great time!!

Thanks for posting. Am taking notes for our trip in Feb.

wow. great report.
i used to live in l.a. and so many of the places you went are so familiar-- but you made me see them through new eyes! as a past santa monica/ los angeles resident-- i think you did an amazing job planning this trip! great, great travelogue. thanks. kawh

Thank you for your very kind words kawh. I loved LA.

Colin,

I only just discovered this report, but I am soooo glad that I have.

I have only just got through the first couple of days, but have taken my office phone off the hook and closed the door. Work will have to wait until I've finished.

You have brought back so many great memmories of our trip in June/July 2010. If you get bored at some stage, search for my trip report. I would love to share it with you. It was somewhat different, as we travel with our kids (11 and 8 at the time), but our impressions of LA are similar in a way.

Being Australian, I loved your reference to Angus and Julia Stone. I was actually listening to "Down the Way" last night.

I really wish that I had known about the House of Blues, Gospel Brunch. We stayed at the Best Western, right next door and were there on a Sunday.

Anyway.....Back to the report.

Cheers shanek. I'm glad you're enjoying the trip.

I see by your trip reports that you're a big fan of Thailand. I absolutely adored my two visits there. I usually don't revisit places, always striving for a new horizons but I now feel the urge to return to the Land of Smiles!

Yes Colin, "my name is Shane and i'm a Thaioholic".

We keep trying to visit other places but keep getting drawn back. When are you thinking of going?

Next big trip will have to be the end of 2013. Went to Rwanda last year which was expensive (but worth every penny) so it'll take a while before we can afford another long haul.

How cheap is Thailand to get to from Australia ?
