Trip planning (Part 1) - America

So....this is strange.

I usually like to holiday in locations within Asia (being an Asian an all)
But recently I have decided to go outside of that comfort zone.

A Canadian friend have been tempting me for perhaps 5 yrs or more to go over to Vancouver to visit him, or spend Christmas in Hawaii.   I have rejected the idea everytime with excuses such as "I hate being stuck in the plane for a long period of time" or "Hawaii??  We got good beaches right here on the Gold Coast" or "Canada is too cold!!"

But secretly I have been wanting to visit that part of the world.  So what did I do last night?  Staying up until 3am doing some research on where I definitely wanna go.

Here are the DEFINITE locations I will visit (Yes, very touristery places):

Los Angeles

Universal Studios

Hollywood Walk of Fame


Warner Bros. Studio


Hollywood Sign
 Madame Tussauds Hollywood
