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 May 17th we’ll fly from Düsseldorf to LA (direct!! yay!). We arrive around 3pm, get our rental car (Pontiac G6) and drive to the Custom Hotel near the airport:

We’ll only stay there for 1 night, cuz the next 11 days we booked (after - literally - hours and hours of contemplating) the Ramada Plaza Hotel & Suites in West Hollywood. Which has an amazing location (Santa Monica Blvd. right in the heart of WeHo - near clubs, food, drinks etc.), and amazing rooms…

When we’re (about) done partying in LA, we drive to Flagstaff, and stay at a simple Travelodge for 2 nights. From there it’s an hour’s drive to the Grand Canyon:

Then it’s time for Vegas! :) We booked 3 nights in this:

Yup, that’s a hotel. The Luxor is on the strip. After that we’ll drive to Santa Barbara which is on the westcoast (2 hours North of LA) where we’ll stay at my cousin’s for a few nights. The last night we will stay at the Crowne Plaza Hotel near LAX (Los Angeles International Airport):

Cuz the next day, which is June 7th, we have to catch our flight at 6pm :( And then it’s bye bye USA… But until then we have a lot to look forward to, a lot to plan and a lot of time to get excited!! We will be keeping you updated through this blog about our prep and during our trip, so check back ;)
