I'm staying literally two minutes walk from Hollywood Boulevard.
Yesterday afternoon I was picked up at the airport by a very swish Town Car and dropped off at the hotel.
I had slept a bit on the plane, but the seats weren't particularly comfortable, so I wasn't feeling exactly refreshed.
In order to get my internal clock on track (there's an 8 hour difference) I thought I'd go for a wander down Hollywood Boulevard and kill some time. Unfortunately my camera was still charging, so I didn't take any photos last night.
First impressions? Very mixed.
The cars are all very big.
Hollywood Boulevard is jammed with tourists, but tshirts etc., seem really cheap.
Food doesn't seem to be terribly expensive
Beer seems to be cheaper than Ireland, though it's incredibly weak
I've managed to get a proper night's sleep, so I'll be doing some proper exploring etc., today (with a charged camera!!)
I think I'll do all the really touristy things like tours of the stars' homes or something equally mad :)

So when do we get the flickr collection of you in varying sunglasses pointing at Hollywood's finest?
Pete,
Why would you want to inflict that on the world?

"" I think I’ll do all the really touristy things like tours of the stars’ homes or something equally mad ""
In an ironic sense I assume.
Who did you fly with?
I imagine a technological wizard like yourself did not have the nightmare with mobile phone that I had when in California last year. I called O2 before I left Ireland and asked how to set up call roaming. Was advised that it was all set up and I reassured my staff of one and my family that I would be in daily touch. Mind Bogglingly, O2 had never asked if my phone was tri-band and so I spent a week upsetting every one around me moaning about my phone not working. No answer from O2 to emails until I arrived back in Ireland.
Shudder

Have a Good One and don't miss the Getty museum!
Anthony - Aer Lingus.
Ed - Roaming without issues here, though with an 8 hour time difference you don't make many phonecalls home :)
