Really, I love LA. It's one of my favorite places to visit. yes, I certainly did a lot this trip should be less hectic and I will have more time for the beach and star watching. Thankyou so much for the suggestions. Santa Barbara is a little far, but I'm sure it is worth the trip. Are you familiar with the Lounge at the Shutters on the Beach Hotel and celebrity citing verses the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel? I'm really looking forward to this trip and I thankyou again for you insight.
