Made it to Hollywood!

Well, actually, it’s the W in Westwood Village. Room is great, and was ready for early check-in. After a long night it was good to relax for a bit.

I have to admit, I’m melting. I never was a hot weather person. It’s “only” 73F / 23C and these people are cold. You gotta be kiddin’ me?!? I’m a bucket of sweat…

But have the AC in the sitting area and bedroom down to 65. Feeling much better.

Starting to get hungry… Looked at the menu for the restaurants downstairs. It’s only $20 for a hamburger. But, hey, you get your choice of fresh lettuce and tomato, and even mayo. I might be a bumpkin from Alaska, but it better be really good for $20. BTW, chips are $10 extra.

Good thing I’m only here for a few days. The flip side of that, I would probably lose quite a bit of weight if I was here more than a few days.

Time to check out “the property.” When I checked in they said that since I was from Alaska I might want to check out the new outdoor ice rink back at “the wet” (their term for the pool.) In any event, I am curious to see how they pull that off in 70-80F (21-27C) degree temps, with plenty of sunshine and clear blue skies.

Be back later…
