This trip was already conceived like three to four months ago prior to my travel but I always brush it aside. Then come December and my feet really egged me to wander thus the spur of the moment thing came into fruition.
I flew directly to Los Angeles last December 27 and it was a smooth sailing trip as in no turbulence just a little (my worst enemy infact). Anyway, FYI Flying direct from Abu Dhabi is a no hassle thing in the immigration in LA because of the pre-clerance exit interview in Abu Dhabi. No Queues and your straight to the baggage claim counter.
The most tiring part was waiting for my sister to pick me up at the airport (The Tom Brady International Airport). I actually waited for about an hour or so but that is okay - we always wait for the right time #charr.
Then we headed to Oceanside were my sisters family lived. I always love Southern California. This is my second time and it is always feels good seeing beautiful sceneries like mountains, hills and beaches. We ended that day with a sumptous buffet dinner at Pala Resort Casino. What a treat for me by my sister.
I don't have itineraries for this trip and I just rely on my sister plan.
Universal Studios Hollywood - My second time but this time is more fun because I am bringing my family with me. For the impulsives and can't wait to queue - Holiday season in Universal Studio is not for you as in massive, jampacked of people during this time. My unforgettable experience was riding Transformer - a 4D ride that was so thrill and energetic and you feel like you in the scene with Bumblee bee hahahaha. Then later that day we off to met my lovely cousins such another beautiful reunion.
Las Vegas, Nevada - We celebrated NYE here in this sin city. Two days prior to the new year, we head down to Vegas. I was thinking vegas is just about casinos, hotels, shopping and booze but boy I was wrong. What I like in vegas is that it in downtown you can experience sunny vegas and in mountain top Snowy Vegas. As in having both worlds was indeed great. So we went up to their mountain resort called Lee Canyon. I feel like a kid again seeing and touching all the snow flakes all over me. Infact, I lay down in the snow and it was indeed a happy experience for me.
Then after the snow experience, we went to the Valley of Fire Rock formations - where beautiful red rocks forming different shapes or like cathedrals and architectural structures. Such a wonderful and amazing experience to see this natural formations. What interest me most was the wood that made into rocks because of time and weather. And speaking of the weather, OMG it was so chilly as in like freezing point that we ended up dressing layers of clothes.
