23/06/1985 Los Angeles – Santa Monica

Hotel: Carmel, Santa Monica
Weather: 80F fine & sunny

Arrived LA. Customs questioned us a couple of times regarding money and travel plans, pretty sure we're suspected of wanting to work illegally. Started to get a bit travel anxious and felt like turning around to go home.

Tried hopelessly to change money. The Swiss Frank may well be a stable currency and in that way it's easy to keep a handle on your budget over a long stretch of time while other currencies our bouncing all over the place. But the average yank looks at you as if your talking with an accent.

The plan was to get a regular bus out to Santa Monica but exact change was required. Finally boarded a shuttle bus, $20.
1:41pm, we're exhausted, Andrews asleep and I've just found a love note from the girl back home stashed amongst my cloths in my suit case bringing on a severe bout of travel-anxiety.
