Holiday to Pacific West Coast in Jun 2012: Day 2 – New York to Los Angeles

Surprise, surprise we woke early after two fire alarms in the night. Bit of a convoluted trip into the city via the hotel shuttle, the AirTrain and the Metro.

Sadly on 1 July we arrive in Seattle and we drop the car off. We will stay for 1 night here. I wasn’t that impressed with Seattle last time, but I’ll give it a whirl again. We may even try to get into Pike Place Starbucks.

We will arrive into LA very early in the morning (about 1am). We’ve got a hotel booked for that night, and only need to head to Palm Springs on day 1, so we have some flexibility to ensure we can get a Mustang.

The hotel wasn’t very helpful when it came to asking for a late checkout. To be honest I’ve been pretty disappointed with the Pan Pacific.

The alarm was set for 4:30am so that we would be out by 5am and at the airport by 5:30am. In the event, neither Vick nor I could sleep properly after about 3am, so we ended up rising at 4am and leaving the hotel by 4:45am.
