Last Day in L.A.

Well today was the last day. Packed my bags and got ready to check out. i decided to take another look at this "spa". Since i couldn't even see the water the night before. Yeah...good thing i didn't jump in that junx.
you can barely see the bottom of that thing that resembles a swamp. Good thing i didn't have an open wound on my finger i'd probably have an infection. i'm surprised i didn't get pulled into the water by Swamp Thing last night. It doesn't even take that much maintenance to keep a hot tub clean. My fish pond i built for my eagle project looked cleaner than that.

Couldn't wait to leave the hotel after seeing that. The next stop for us was the Breeze Restaurant at the Century Park Plaza. We were meeting a banker that has been doing stuff for my dad for four years but they have never met. They guy was like in his 60's and was a real character. Had no intention of retiring because he wouldn't know what to do with himself. He gets into work at like 7 am but still finds time during the work day to golf and hop on his 34 foot sail boat. Ugh i need a job so can do fun stuff. For breakfast i got the Crab Cake Benedict. It had spinach on it too, which i wasn't crazy about. i like spinach but just didn't taste good with the egg and crab cake...or maybe it was just bad spinach, i'll never know. The banker got some omelette. There was half a tomato on his plate as garnish, he quickly asked the server to remove it. He couldn't stand looking at it. i had one too so i hid it behind one of my crab cakes. What is up with those crazy people that can't stand tomatoes?! Its like they watched Attack of the Killer Tomatoes at too young of an age or something...

Well that was an entertaining breakfast. On the way back to the car rental place, i saw it...finally. The stupid Bridge movie theater. There is on in Philly, but every time i have searched for movie times for that theater i somehow end up at this theater's website. Its not even that great of a theater. They have assigned seating, who thought assigned seating was a good idea at a theater? On two occasions i have gone to see a movie and when i found my seat, the seat assignment was printed twice and i had to go back to the desk and get another seat assigned to me...ugh, i despise you bridge. Can't fool me into liking you with your cool up decor and modern art work.
Before returning the rental car we had to fill up the tank or else we'd get charged a million dollars for it. The gas prices in California are pretty high, silly crazy gas to decrease emissions...At the pump they had some crazy nozzle. You can't just put it in the car and bounce and let it pump itself. You have to hold it there and maker sure its air tight. At least thats what my dad said. Got to the airport and did the fun security dance before reaching the gate. i saw a guy with a Mac Book Air. i didn't think people actually bought those, they're kind of limited for the price. After seeing that a choir from Kenya started busting out some songs at a gate near by. They all had matching black t-shirts and black cowboy hats. That was pretty entertaining, i took some video too but i'll have to put that up later after compressing it and all that fun stuff later.

There were probably 30 people max on the flight to Phoenix. i quickly grabbed the seat next to the exit. There is no seat in front of you so you're able to stretch out. It was nice, but of course the time when i get a good seat the flight is only one hour long. Ugh, well at least i got to sit there for a little bit.

Arriving in Phoenix, Arizona we were pretty hungry and decided to get some Chinese food. They guy at the register looked like he was from Kenya, and the guy making the food looked like he was Mexican...After noticing that i wasn't expecting any authentic Chinese food, plus i ordered the "Thai Chicken". It came in a cool styrofoam container, if i was a container i'd want to be this one.
i'm a sucker for buying shot glasses, so once i passed the gift store i had to go in to see if they had any fun shot glasses, and of course they did. While buying the shot glasses they had some lollipops on the counter. $3.60 for the sucker! What's up with that? Oh, i see...after a closer look they have scorpions in them. i haven't had scorpions since, well...never. i almost bought one, but decided not too.

i went back to the gate and sat and listened to my iPod. After a little bit of sitting i had to go to the bathroom. On the way back from the bathroom i passed that gift store again, i had 10 bones in my pocket and before i knew it i was walking out of that gift shop with two scorpion lollipops. One Strawberry flavored and the other Blueberry. The girl that ringed me up asked if i was really going to eat them, PSH! Um yeah! I'm not afraid of a little scorpion! And i'm sure its just that much more delicious aging in a sugary prison on a stick.
Well, not quite sure when i'm going to bite into these delectable treats...maybe on my ski trip this weekend i'll try one...probably the blueberry one, i like the color blue. Now i'm ready to board the plane to Philly.

Arrived into Philly around midnight and didn't get home until 12:40 pm. Overall it was a fun trip and i'm glad i went. i'll have to visit SoCal again and hit up all those crazy places i didn't get a chance to.
