Final, after all the preparations and training, I am on my way to my unfinished adventure in Central & South
America....my first backpacking trip.
After surviving warm (fresh) fruit and yogurt inside a 14
hour flight, and an 8 hour layover in
LAX, finally arrived at my hotel just before mid night, 30+ hours later.
I don't know why the normally chilled fresh fruits and
yogurts were lukewarm........yak! May be
because it was the VERY LAST 747 service between Sydney and LAX.....probably
the newer 777s are taking over. In the
shadow of MH370.......!!!!!
I went inside that LAX airport space-age looking Encounter
Restaurant, and it was closed ( for good!), my first time ever since first
coming to LA 37 years ago. And it is a
crappy building, with no easy walk over from any of the terminal buildings in
this huge airport, no wonder!
And the Mexican Airport Taxi company was trying to charge me
double until I protested...still some 20% more than the norm.
Just realised the exchange rate at the airport is 20+% worse than the official rate !!
