A weekend in Telford? This weekend marked PK's 80th birthday, so we decided we would go somewhere nice and not too far away.

I woke at around 2am, which meant I had had a half-decent night's sleep. There's never any point in trying to adapt to the local timezone, since I am heading back home within a few days of arriving.

I had a Warner Bros Studio Tour planned for 11am, but I decided I may as well head up there early. My heel was hurting, so the earlier I could finish off any heavy walking, the better.

I woke at around 2am, so I got a decent amount of sleep, but I knew there was no chance I was going to get back to sleep. I had an exciting plan for this morning: to hike up to the Hollywood sign, aiming to start my hike not long after sunrise (a little before 6am).

Having left the aircraft first, I was on my way up the airbridge, when I heard "Mr Billingham" from an AA rep that was now behind me. I had to double back and take a boarding pass from her.

This trip is based on one of the latest good value trips, originating somewhere in Europe and ending in Spain. For some reason, this open jaw arrangement reduced an already relatively cheap trip by a few hundred pounds.

Another entertaining TP Run is on the cards: this time to Los Angeles. LA is not a normal destination for me, since it is usually just a connection point on the way to another US city.

After having landed at 5:45am, we arrived at Gate 47A about on schedule at around 6:15am. Tight, but I still had half a chance of running over to TBIT to secure my caffeine fix.
