Our gamble paid off.

We arrived in LA at midnight. The child had slept on the red-eye, and miraculously he went right back to sleep when we got to our LAX hotel.

And at our hotel there were ponga trees.

Check out my review over at TripAdvisor.

We felt right at home.

I am an amateur.

My Schmap photo

My photo was chosen for the newly released seventh edition of the Schmap Wellington Guide.

Dozens of other photos by more talented photographers were also published.

HUSBAND: Did they pay you?

ME: Um, no. But I might need to upgrade my Flickr to a pro account.

HUSBAND: (sigh)

The Schmap is a cool little guide. You can check it out here.
