M&M's adventures - Florida to LA [draft]

It was a very early start with little sleep for Michelle and I. We took a uber to the airport which was really good. It helps that I had a $20 credit on my uber account. We got an XL which turned out to be a van. In the end it was under $12 for our half hour ride to the airport.

The flight was about 5hours from Orlando international airport to Los Angeles airport. The west coast is 3hrs behind the east coast so we arrived around midday. 

Took a shuttle to Santa Monica and I'm sad that they seem to be ending the LAX to Santa Monica shuttle service in September because it was very convenient. There were only 6 people on the shuttle but we got taking to an Australian couple from Burleigh Heads. We were talking about our trip and I was telling them a bit about how to get around with Blue Buses and the Metro system. The bus driver pointed out the Hotel California when we passed it and I was telling people about how I stayed there last year and how they were filming across the road. 

The bus driver told me I was doing his job for him and that I should find employment as a tour organiser. 

The shuttle ride ended just up the road from our hotel. I haven't stayed there before
