"I see dead people"
Mar. 1st, 2023 01:28 pmFinal day in LA. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
flickums wanted to go to the Forest Lawn cemetery. There are many famous people buried there.
We arrived. Found the mausoleom - not too hard since it was massive. But the door was locked. So was the other door, but there ws a sign saying visitors need to be able to say who they want to visit. Apparently the staff aren't allowed to say where people are buried either. They're not really about tourists.
So we abandoned that, and came back. We did have time to do another luckykaa thing. The Angel Flight railway. A funicular that goes from the street to nowhere in particular. But it's always fun to ride a funicular.
After that we had a lot mopre time to kill than expected. Loitered in the hotel a little. Took a lot of photos. The lobby was used as the ballroom. the gallery was used as the main entrance. The elevators were used as-is. I think a lot of the corridors were on the floors that we couldn't access. I feel I should have posed with my Slimer keyring but I forgot I had it.
We had a lot of time so decided to take the LAX Flyer to the airport. It's only a couple of stops on the metro to Union station and a lot cheaper than an Uber.
So that was it for the holiday. Minor annoyance that they didn't realise we had an upgrade. Decided to splash out for lounge access again. Flew home. Travel to Euston station was frustrating with many delays on the Elizabeth line, Paddington being confusing, and no escalator at Euston Square.
Still, we got home. Had tea. Watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Slept like the dead!
