18th Jan 2007 - Last Day: Walking around Grauman's Chinese and Kodak Theatres

We walked around our neighbourhood on our last day as our flight home was that nite itself. Window shopped at the stores within the Kodak Theatre complex.



The Hollywood sign from the back of the Kodak Theatre overlooking traffic on N.Highland Avenue.


Traffic on Hollywood Blvd.

The El Capitan cinema across the road.


The Chinese Grauman's Theatre - getting ready for the "Smokin' Aces" red carpet premiere. You cldn't walk on that side of the road so we took our photos from across while we were shopping for souvenirs. All the souvenir shops here are even more cheesy than the New York. The only thing that we even considered buying was a "Vote for Pedro" Tshirt that DS wanted. Didn't get it though - was pricey.
Pity we cldn't stay to watch the "Smokin' Aces" red carpet proceedings for that evening.
We left Orchid Suites by 4pm for LAX (Super Shuttle) and as our driver took us thru the main city freeways for more pickups, we saw the LA evening rush hour traffic at its peak. Took us abt 2 hrs to get to LAX.
I got wheelchair assistance again and we had dinner at the airport. Enjoyed free internet wifi at the departure gate.
A very long trip.
Sad to leave but we were glad to go home... at last!
