Well boys - this could be the last post before we are back in Oz.
If the LA Airport has Wifi available I will have ONE more post - otherwise I will finish this off when we get home.
So today was a free day - we went shopping - yes shopping - AGAIN.
We hit the 'outlets' in Camarillo - this place only has 190 retail outlets...
I got a little scared in 'shoe alley' - this place actually has something like 40 shoe stores :o
I figured if you cant beat em , join em - and the holiday has come in WELL under budget so I decided we could all go a little CRAZY - including me this time, I mean you cant NOT buy the stuff -
I got new Oakley Half Jacket sunnies WITH polarised lenses and an
extra set of polarised lenses - all for $190.00 - the glasses alone - NON polarised are around that in Oz.
I was buying genuine Billabong , Alpine Star and Ecko shirts for $15.00 each
My son got DC , Vans and Converse shoes for around $30.00 - I grabbed some Vans for $20.00
Nike Air Hi Tops for me - $30.00 !
Jake got 2 more skate decks as well - less than half the Oz price - again.
It was seriously cheap cheap cheap.
After that we went and found the original house used in the film Poltergeist.
I am sure some of you may recall it when you see this image. This is just a normal house in a normal everyday street in Simi Valley - about 35 minutes north west of LA city.
We fly out tomorrow night 10.30pm LA time.
I will be spending the afternoon driving around finding a few other houses from film and TV - I was going to look at Stars homes but all you see is a gate , so I decided to look up houses from sets that we all recognise and check them out ( Happy Days house, Elm St house, Halloween house etc etc ) plus I am going to take a drive along Mullholland drive and go as close to the Hollywood sign as we can get.
Finishing off at Randy's Donuts ( the little hut with the MASSIVE donut on top of it seen in HEAPS of shows/ films ) - then back to LAX.
More soon...
