El Segundo, CA

There are times when some sort of action is needed, and this was one of those times. More nights at the Holiday Inn Express and meals at the Socorro Springs Brew Pub did not sound appealing to either Tim or me. It was time to make a move.

Unfortunately, Tim wasn't feeling well, but despite this we headed to the airport and onto Los Angeles. Tom and Robyn drove us to the airport in our old Rodeo (their new Rodeo). I don't think there is any way to thank two people who have done so much for us - i.e., accepted into their family my geriatric dog and long-time good friend (Mica), taken on the task of selling my Honda Element (since it didn't sell before we left), and a "multiple" of other kind and helpful actions. Thank you Robyn and Tom. We love you and will miss you dearly.

We are now at the Hilton Garden Inn Lax-El Segundo spending our Saturday in total vegetative states. Once we regain some energy, we'll explore the beach and other attractions, but for now, we are quite happy just lying around...

We have reservations for Monday night to fly on to Sydney. Will the Visa be approved? Stay tuned!
