flying west (2011)
Reading through the old blogs, I see we haven’t really updated it after our anniversary, but trust when we say that we had the time of our lives. Flying back was horrible, not just because the flight was long and exhausting, but also because we hated leaving LA, and all the other places we visited, behind. The second we dropped off the car at the car rental place, we talked about coming...

6 Month Anniversary
West Hollywood, CA:
Saturday it was our 6 month anniversary. We woke up, got ready and drove straight to Beverly Hills. We parked there and walked to Sprinkles to get some cupcakes. We got 4 and sat down to eat 2 - we were completely full after that! We then walked around a little, down Rodeo Drive and to the little park.
We took the car and drove around Beverly Hills, looking at houses. We...
Beachin' and Clubbin'
West Hollywood, CA:
Friday we woke up early. We got showered and dressed. We walked to the busstop for the bus to Santa Monica Beach. We passed Quiznos for breakfast. It took us about an hour and something to get to the beach. We first walked down the Third Street Promenade which is a very cute shopping street. Stopped at Coffee Bean for a drink and walked to the beach. It was very pretty....
Scenic views :)
West Hollywood, CA:
On Thursday we first went to Starbucks to get a coffee. Then walked up to Sunset Blvd to just walk a bit and enjoy the weather and some views. We then drove to Denny’s for breakfast. After that we drove up to the Hollywood sign. First up Beachwood and then did a little bit of hiking at the Hollyridge Trail. We had some great views from up there.
We then rode down to...
Lakers, baby!!
West Hollywood, CA:
Yesterday was a very busy day. We woke up and went to Subway for breakfast. We then walked back, got the car and drove up to Griffith Observatory. From there we had a great view of the city and the Hollywood sign. We stayed up there for over an hour, also went inside the building. Unfortunately it was a bit foggy so we couldn’t really see the skyline that clearly. The...
First day in WeHo
West Hollywood, CA:
Yesterday was a long, but amazing day. We got up around 10.30am, got showered, dressed and packed our stuff to take off to the next hotel in West Hollywood. We left around noon and after getting a bit lost in Marina Del Rey, we got on the highway and drove up until Santa Monica Blvd and took a turn. We arrived at the Ramada Plaza, parked our car, checked in (very nice front...
Jetlagged
Los Angeles, CA:
And we have arrived! We’re in LA, jetlagged and all, but we made it.
We left the house around 7.45am yesterday, took a bus and trains to Duesseldorf Airport. Check in went smoothly but there were no more window seats, which turned out to be fine cuz we ended up having 4 seats to ourselves. Boarding was very chaotic and what seemed to be a bit unnecessary.
The flight...
There We GO!
Herzogenrath, Germany:
Two and a half more days until we are on our way to Duesseldorf Airport. Yesterday we had time to pack our suitcases. While Jan is about done packing his, Noelle is still figuring out how many outfits to bring, which shirt matches with which pants etcetera. She’ll probably end up repeating the pack-unpack-pack routine a few more times. Jan is happy to be a man…

The Dream is booked!
Herzogenrath, Germany:
So, after getting the confirmation that we could really book our trip to the Americaz - we did. We booked our flight last Monday (which was, thanks to the boyfriend working in the travel industry, really cheap) and as soon as we could, we booked all (four) hotels. Our flight-package included one hotel, so in total we’ll be staying at five hotels within 3 weeks. On...
