Phew! Yet another weekend out of the city... And what a weekend!!

On Friday we flew down to LAX, Jeremy following me about two hours after. We picked up our car (upgraded from a "compact" to a Jeep Liberty) and started on the long, peak-hour drive from LAX to Anaheim. We made it through the peak-hour, got to our hotel and signed in... I tried to have a decently early night, due to our *HUGE* day at Disneyland on the Saturday.

I could barely sleep that night, excitement and all that. I actually woke up earlier than my alarm, and decided to have an early shower. I dragged Jeremy out of bed, we got ready for our day and made our way to the park. I still can't believe that we got to the park by 8:30. And further still, the park didn't open until 9!! We spent half an hour waiting for the Disneyland people to let us past Main St, and the minutes dragged for me.

At 9, they removed the ropes and the crowds almost ran to the ride that they wanted to get on first. Luckily, we were toward the front of the crowd, and we made our way to Splash Mountain. There were *no* queues for it. We were seemingly one of the first few on the ride for the day. We got a photo taken, just as we were going down the 70ft plunge, but it's not digital. It's funny, trust me... You can almost see the moment that Jeremy crapped himself :-D

We made it to all the major rides and attractions throughout the day, only really missing some of the kiddie rides. Believe it or not, that's where the main queues were and the rides being not all that exciting, we felt that we could skip them and not miss out on too much. Saw the fireworks, 20 minutes of Disney magic, and Jeremy took a few videos of it. I'll get him to add a link!!

So, we lasted about 16 hours at Disneyland. I hate to think how far we walked that day... And on only a few hours sleep too!! Needless to say we both slept like logs that night, and for about 12 hours too!! On the Sunday we decided to go for a drive, and ended up in Newport Beach (home of The OC). Didn't end up taking pics, the weather was lousy that morning... I wanted to have a drive, so I ended up driving from Newport to Hollywood. A pretty decent drive, and mostly Freeways. I drove on LA Freeways!! (and I, no *we*, survived!!)

We met up with Jeremy's ex-bosses from Netspace (In the US for business...) at the hotel they were staying at. The Mondrian... Very nice, very trendy and apparently a fab spot for celeb spotting. We had dinner with them at the hotel restaurant (no celebs), and a few drinks at the hotel bar. Over dinner, we decided that the next day we should head to Universal Studios. Picking Rick and Stewart up at 9:30am meant that we would need to leave Anaheim by 8. I looked at the time, it was 12:30am and we needed to get home.

Universal was a little disappointing. Especially after seeing Disneyland only a few days beforehand. We did the studio tour, that was awesome. They were filming Desperate Housewives, Crossing Jordan and Next. I love that show, funny stuff!! Took a heap of photos, got soaked on a number of the rides and managed yet another day of wandering around a theme park. We left Universal and gave Rick and Stewart a lift back to their hotel, before we headed to LAX for our flight. When we got to the hotel bar, Skybar, I noticed a somewhat familiar face... "Undercover Brother", Eddie Griffin. I remembered him from Deuce Bigalow as the 'Man Pimp' TJ. Tried to get a photo, didn't turn out, but I saw a D-Grade celeb none the less!!

Anyway, we made it home in one piece, utterly exhausted. It's almost taken a few days to get over it all!! Anyway, that's what we got up to over the weekend... Busy busy :-)
