California Trip Wrap Up

Ahmar Wolf

I know I should of posted this yesterday… but I was just too tired and could not think of anything worth posting.

So looking back it was really a great trip and I got some amazing photos. LA was so much fun, and I met my 1st cousin once removed if Google is right. They were the adult son of my cousin’s. Really am amazing guy, wasn’t sure if was furry… you see into IT.

Best place I went: Ripley’s Odditoruim beyond fantastic

Complete waste of money: The Oscar’s Museum, few costumes and a sky deck that is worth checking out.

The Most Jaw Dropping Moment: Getty Villa, it’s mind blowing.

I know I did more, just still too tired to think about it.

So will I be back? As for my cousins they gave an excuse of age, but I told them nothing was ever set in stone. If I did I would stay in a hostel, private room. Get a Tap card (the local fare card) and travel around.

I might do this again when the California Science Center finishes it expansion. I didn’t mention it is next to the LA Memorial Coliseum, and Exposition Park is a neighborhood in the south region of Los Angeles, California. It is home to Exposition Park, which includes the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, BMO Stadium, Exposition Rose Garden and three museums: the California African American Museum, the California Science Center and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. It is also home to a Science Center Academy.

It is a lot to take in.

Anthro New Mexico Announces Hotel

Ahmar Wolf

And the Winner is Crown Plaza

Which is only 8 minutes from the Amtrak Station by car. Oh BTW the train usually stays about a half hour due to a maintenance inspection. So you have a chance to both load and unload whatever you bring

From Somewhere in New Mexico

Ahmar Wolf

Once again, i find myself in the middle of a 3 day journey.  From Chicago to LA and back again.

After without a doubt the most unusual start.

You get your seat assignment 90 minutes before if leaves. Then within an hour before departure they tell you what track.

Everything went well, and like i said i am somewhere in New Mexico currently.

One more day and another post until i get home.

California Trip: Last Day

Ahmar Wolf

Here it is my final day. Got most of my stuff packed and ready. In a few hours one of my cousins will take me to the train station where i start my return journey.

Yesterday was more or less uneventful.  Finally after getting the right direction made my way to the Beach of Malibu.

No one ever says there is a huge drop in elevation.

Lastly i went orange picking with my cousins and a friend of their’s.

It was fun, and it turns out that fresh oranges do taste better
