Visiting two of my favorite places: LA and Hawaii



Yesterday I left LAX after a great reunion with my California AD Pi sisters A and A. A and J drove up from Long Beach and the five of us had an amazing dinner at a great little French place called La Frite. A and N put me up at their gorgeous pad. The kids were fine but one of their dogs ate my Erno Lazlo sea mud soap teaching me to learn to keep the door to the guest room shut.

A invited me to join her for a six mile run on Sunday and to our surprise, I kept up O.K. I don’t know how she does that regularly. You go girl.

I also got to ride in a Prius for the first time.. A’s mom’s car. It was so quiet. I was really impressed and will definitely consider one when H and I are ready for wheels again someday.

A and I caught 2 flicks: Juno and Definitely, Maybe and were offered screening tickets for movies for two different nights this week. I was so tempted to stay! But I had a ticket to Hawaii to see my sis, (also A. I know this is confusing but I can’t afford to be sued at this stage in my new career.)

Sister A picked me up yesterday and we were on the beach in no time. She’s preggers, almost seven mos and looking great. We even saw a monk seal on the beach – so cool!
Today she took me to the North Shore where the lifeguards warned that experts only were allowed to surf. I took a few videos and hope to post more pix and those as soon as I can.
A and I are also on a movie marathon. Yesterday we rented Evan Almighty which was a great family flick (although I read in the LA Times that it cost $250 million and might be the biggest financial disaster ever) and The Nanny Diaries (loved the book.)

Well, all for now! Peace.
