day 1

Downtown Los Angeles
When we touched dwn LA airport, we quickly located our luggages n find the rental bus companies to take us our rental car place. it is a short shuttle bus trip. settle all the issue like car insurance n our logging which took us almost the whole morn since we arrived in the morn (2hrs + flight). LA is lagged by an hr compared to our state we came here. in LA, mainly we will be covering the Downtown area n Hollywood. Firstly, we stop over at Olvera St, a plaza a collection of historic shops. we parked at a place near Los Angeles Union Station(which is in the central of downtown). Look for fixed rate parking; its much cheaper if u intend to explore mre. Cathedral Of Our Lady Of The Angels (temple st) is quite famous there.

Move around LA Downtown. Check out the old theaters on Broadway.

Bradbury Building, chk out the the elevators.

At nite, we went to Los Angeles Convention Center, Staples Center and the mixed-use L.A. Live entertainment campus. The L.A. Live campus consists of over a dozen restaurants, an ESPN Zone arcade, the 7,100-seat Nokia Theatre, the 2,300-seat Club Nokia performance venue and nightclub, and the Latin-themed Conga Room nightclub. The Grammy Museum at L.A. Live opened in 2008 in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the Grammy Awards.

p.s. LA traffic is heavy like spore, dun be surprise of ppl cutting narrowly infont of u, abit of confusing in LA highways.. Take caréful note of GPS. LA parking lots can be flat rate or by the coin slots. The nearer carlots to the shopping area the more ex. In LA, police is strict in parking, rem to put in sufficient for coin slots.
