Hollywood

Life has been so surreal.

I'm heading to Hollywood, California!!!

I sat in the back of the vehicle.  I was kind of nervous about it because I don't like being in closed confinement but I was okay in the back. I wished he was in the back with me so I could of laid on him. I know, silly me, he's not mine.

    

There were beautiful mountains all the way there.  The sunrise was so pretty.  We stopped at a rest area, see the sign:

    

A very different sign huh?!  Definitely not your usual sign.

    

Due to the drug core tel, there was border patrol between Arizona and California.  How crazy is that in the United States.  It was actually closed when we went through which is unusual.

When we got there and it took us about 5hrs, we went straight to Erick's apartment.  I should have taken pictures but his apartment was $1100 and it came with parking.  Right outside of his apartment, you could see the Hollywood sign.

Erick was super nice.  He showed us around Los Angles and Hollywood.  He had lived everywhere and survived.  Erick is Garee and LaShell's older brother.

The hotel was in a good location and nice.  I was really mad that I couldn't sleep with my buddy. I knew the sleeping arrangements were going to be difficult but I try to just go with the flow. I didn't feel good at all, so sleeping was not going to be an option clearly.  They wanted the air on but no one wanted to sleep next to the air.  Usually I don't mind but since I wasn't feeling good.  It wasn't a good option.  In the middle of the night, I noticed Garee in a chair looking really uncomfortable, so I woke her up and told her her to lay down.  I slept in the desk chair.  

I know this is lame but the highlight of the whole trip or close enough was the neck massage from my bestie.  OM to the Gosh!!!  I might have mentioned in another post, that I have two herniated disc in the spine of my neck.  It was recommended that I have surgery to correct the problem or go to a chiropractor and purchase a $150 pillow.  So I had kind of rigged up my own pillow and it would work every now and then.  If I lay down wrong or sleep wrong, it gives me the worst headache in the world and my neck hurts.  Well the week before the trip, I started having problems.  There really isn't much they can do but give me a shot, muscle relaxers don't help.  

So I asked the Bestie if he could massage my neck and he did.  Again, OM to the Gosh!!!  The best massage in the world.  You know they are good when they can put you to sleep and I had started drooling.  I had moaned a couple of times but really tried to keep that in.  It felt great!  His wife is going to be one blessed woman.  Since the massage, my neck has been feeling better.  He has the magic touch.

Back to the trip, my bad...

So we walked Hollywood Blvd. and seen the stars on the ground.  I couldn't believe it.  The street was super crowded with tourist, street artist, security and more, so it was hard to get pictures and what not.

Then it was time to leave.  So sad.  The weather and company was nice.  Back to Arizona we went.
