Hollywood in Hollywood (or close to it..) Part I

So my journey to LA (Woodland Hills)has begun and after 2 trips I can say that I am definitely in for a different type of experience. First off, a tip to the wise-when you are doing a cross country flight, the middle seat is NOT your friend. Run, Jump and Leap over everyone to get either a window seat or an exit row seat-I’m just saying…Secondly, who knew there were so many people who go back and forth to Cali every week? I have yet to be on any plane, either coming or going that was not packed to the max, it didn’t matter if it was early morning or the red eye..packed! Third, Airlines are getting completely out of control, they charge for everything, down to snacks and pillows..next thing you know they will charge you for oxygen on the plane! I try to stay to the free stuff- like a drink and peanut. Eventhough I was flying for work, I just could not see myself (or Pep) paying $5 for a box of some crackers and cheese-and that was the cheapest-like many of you who go to the movies, I am all about the snacks in the bag, and luckily that stuff is not a part of the 3oz rule. Let me bring my own crackers and cheese that only cost me $0.50!! Traffic in LA is stupid crazy, I mean, do none of these people work?? Why are there so many cars on the road at 11am?? The major highways have at least 5 lanes going in each direction so I have yet to understand why there is at any time a traffic jam..and how is it possible that anyone in the HOV lane would ever be at a standstill (you were wondering that too? Thought so)?? This place is way too spread out-I went to see my friend who was coaching a boys basketball game and it took me 1hr 45 mins to go 30 miles..I’m not kidding..Yes, it did!
