Priorities!

 
Woooooh-wii! What a week! After spending our first night in LA at a hotel, we decided to get down to business and make this town feel like our new stomping ground. Our first priority was to find an area we liked best. Our top choices to live included the coastal areas of Marina del Rey, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, & Redondo Beach. Marina del Rey- much older crowd. Redondo- too similar to Daytona. The houses on the hill in Playa Vista were a possibility. But after a quick loop around the South Bay, we quickly narrowed it down. BINGO! Santa Monica! The boutiques and the shopping, the rows of palm trees, the pier, the location to the freeway, and of course the eye candy ;-P (Shout out to all the hotties on their terraces, riding bikes, grocery shopping, surfing, working the ca$h register, driving around & walking the streets)

First stop: Starbucks on 7th & Montana. Time to find a place to live. Outside seating for Sir Kona, WiFi, & the entertainment. We grabbed an iced coffee, fired up the laptop & got to work on our blog, of course. We finally were able to post it, then the computer battery died. Charging it with Kona was not an option, so we left Starbucks (still homeless). Since we had no where to go, we pulled into a Taco Bell parking lot in Venice & decided to take up surfing. Couch surfing that is! (Shout out to Steve. xoxo- Oprah & Gale) We contacted our few LA connections in hopes to find a couch for the night. After an hour of no returned text messages our good friend Jenn in Orange County said to get our booties over to her place immediately. We accepted & we were on our way to OC for the night.

To be continued...
