You might also consider taking the free G Bus in the bus area in arrivals and going to the Metro train station to catch the Green Line train. It connects with the Blue Line and the Red Line. The Blue Line takes you to Long Beach (above ground) and the Red Line takes you to down to downtown, Hollywood, or Universal City (mostly subway). Its $2.70 round trip. The Red Line extension to Universal City just opened this year. If you go to the Universal City Station, it is just a short walk up the hill to City Walk.. shops, restaurants, etc at Universal Studios. But you'll need to give yourself some time. It will take up to 90 minutes to get there and 90 minutes to get back, so you've killed 3 hours already. But it might be worth a couple hours there and is VERY EASY. Hollywood is another option to, and although it is cleaned up dramtically, it is still seedy. I am sure others have a million ideas as well, but this option does get you out of the terminal.
