Return from the West (holiday in California)

So my adventures in America-land have been AMAZING! We arrived in LAX completely destroyed from sleeping in prehistoric United Airlines and immediately checked into a hotel in Beverly Hills for the night. We arrived at around 8am on a Friday morning and we didn't want my Aunt to take time off work to pick us up so we stayed a night in comfy disinfected bedsheets and slept ourselves into an American cable TV coma. Also, we raged about immigration procedures at the airport.  It took THREE FUCKING HOURS! There were about 600 people waiting in line in both US passport and non-US-passport lines and, there were 4 staff processing us all.... FOUR.  Thankfully we got a relatively shipper and cute guy so I partially forgive you America, but only just. I woke up the next day marvelling at how cheap the coffee at starbucks was… $2.70 for a medium Chai!!!!!!!! this would have cost me double in Sydney. We spent time with the family of my Aunt and the family of her brother
