On my last trip to LosAngeles, I decided to investigate the Howard Johnson chain of hotels. I decided to book into their Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel on Wilshire Blvd in LosAngeles.
From their internet website, I had a choice of 2 double beds, 1 queen bed or a king bed. They also provided both smoking and non-smoking rooms. I decided to book myself the non-smoking room with the king bed (I always wanted to know the difference between a king and a queen bed!).
[Check-in]

So, during much of the 1950's the streetcar lines were ...
Advantages: Didn't stay long enough to find out... Disadvantages: Intimidating for first time visitors.
along La Cienega up to West Hollywood, where our Ramada Hotel was waiting for us. One peculiar feature was that all the furniture in the reception was made out of glass, so on your way across to the elevators, you keep whacking your shins on virtually invisible coffee tables.
The jet-lag wasted us. At three in the morning we were wide awake. The time warp logistics of losing hours and gaining hours during air travel were always beyond me, and I couldn't get my head round it. Back home, they were all sipping their second cup of coffee of the morning. By midday the next day, we were ready for bed.
We emerged into a pastel LosAngeles morning. We were the only people out walking on the streets. The only other people who go by foot in LA are other Europeans and the joggers. It's an incredibly vain city - every other shop is a gym ...
