Dawn Rising Sun

Finally, it was our last day in Los Angeles and it was also my last day together with SL, I was sad with another seperation but I should be happy that I can stay a day longer as we planned. At the morning, we checked out from our Super 8 Motel and headed to LAX airport, our flights were night flight but we planned to left our luggages in some storage service in airport, which I assumed there should be one. After checked out, we bought a day trip Metro ticket, this assured us for unlimited travel with Metro transportation, there we need to take three lines (from Hollywood/Western to 7th Street, 7th Street to Imperial/Wilmington, then Imperial/Wilmington to Aviation/LAX) and a shuttle from Hollywood to LAX Airport. While I was travelling in Europe, it was normal to find some locker area in airport (especially international airport), this provides convenience to night flight tourists to store their luggages, so that tourists can have a short day trip before their scheduled flight. Well, w...

This morning, we called to Cathay Pacific helpline again on my flight ticket modification and we got a good news that is an available seat for the next day, this means that SL and I could have one more day together. Suddenly, we were feeling happy and my mood wasn't as down as the day before, this good news really changed our emotion although we only earned one more day, it is good enough for us. After breakfast, we headed to Universal Studio immediately, we nearly got lost at first because they didn't provide a clear direction, but we finally still successfully got to destination after some climbing up to a small hill. Well, we actually could take a shuttle to the Studio, but I just wanted to enjoy my walking time with SL alone, we didn't have much day to walk together then. I were arrived to Universal Studio at 8am, which is its opening time, we were so lucky that we walked up, so that we could avoid some cword at the entrance. Of course, I took the Studio's map and s...

Finally, we have to say goodbye to Anaheim Disneyland area and directed to LA/Hollywood area on 29 July 2009, I actually like Anaheim a lot because there is really a quiet and beutiful town, their building are special and beautiful, where I just felt like I was in fairly tale. Well, we couldn't live in fairly tale forever and needed to back to reality in one day, and I took a final snapshot for Anaheim in dawn, don't you think it is beautiful? How do we get to LA? There we needed to get a bus from our hotel to Anaheim train station, then we took a train from Anaheim Metrolink station to Union Station in LA town, later we needed to transit to Metro red line to Hollywood/Western station, there is our hotel nearby. Our hotel is Super 8 Motel, it is just a few minutes walk from Hollywood/Western metro station and it is close to Hollywood happening area, it is just between Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard, which are two happening streets in Hollywood area. Actually, we were ...

We didn't wake up too early at this day because Disneyland Park is just near to our motel, it was convenient to us that we could walk there within 15 minutes. We arrived to Disneyland Park at 8:30am and we just immediately started our journey, there were so many people walked into Disneyland Park direction, I couldn't believe with the crowd as it was Tuesday, that I never expected so many people would be travelling on the day. After we got into the Disneyland Park, we immediately research on the map and special event schedule to make sure we could enjoy everything in the Park. Disneyland Park opens with five lands in it, which are Main Street, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. After seeing the map, I felt lucky that we just bought ticket for a park because Disneyland Park is big enough for a full day trip, I was even worried if we could go through all attractions with this kind of crowd. At first, we went to Adventureland and lined up for Indiana Jones ...

27th of July is my last day in Oregon, I was going to leave SL's apartment and fly to Los Angeles with SL at afternoon flight, there we would spend about four days in LA for the last part of my US summer trip. In two months ago, SL and I have planned for our trip in US, where we would choose stop over in Los Angeles at the first trip and San Francisco at the second trip, so that we could save some money on flying here and there, since some flight tickets are included into my NRDT package. Therefore, SL only paid for his return flight ticket in LA case and mine is just a stop-over. Due to consider it would be a long day for us, so we had our lunch at Treasure Island Buffet Lunch, so that we could eat until we both were full for whole day journey. Then, we just drove to airport and SL dropped his car to his car rental, but it was some surprises happened with car returned, therefore SL almost lost his temper, I think SL is really an hot temper person, who doesn't really know how t...
