LAX

With a quick trip around the gift stores for a few last souvenirs we packed up the car for our last time and left Angelina Jolie’s car park. Our last ride in the faithful Camry today took us to the hotel by LAX. While Fraser took the car for its last ride to the car dealer Sarah and Aaron began the last pack of the luggage into the bags.
With a view of the LAX sign for our room it is now sinking in that this is the end and home is just a non stop flight away. So a quick look back over our road trip reveals:

We have seen and done so much, but there is still more to do so keep checking back here for future adventures.
