LAX

19 July – Thursday

Departed a cold and wet Vancouver early this morning, flying with Alaskan Airlines to Los Angeles. We went through US Customs and Immigration before we left Vancouver, which certainly saved time on arrival. All visitors to the USA are now photographed and fingerprinted each time they enter the country – fortunately we stilled looked the same as we did when we arrived at Boston! Security varies from airport to airport – whilst we had to remove coats, jumpers and shoes, carriage of liquids and gels obviously wasn’t considered a problem. Anyway, it was a good flight, plenty of legroom and two runs with the drinks cart during the 3 hour flight. Anaheim is clear and hot, beautiful weather! Our motel is okay, not very far to walk to Disneyland, has a pool, spa and LAUNDRY. In fact, it is just around the corner from where we stayed in 1988 – that hotel is still there too.
