An Artistic moment for Simon in LA.
Testing the new camera which we spent a day in the various shopping centres looking for. Well if you go to the US, shopping has to be done.

This is a view of the Marina at Long Beach, CA where we visited Tracey's old time friend from Diego Garcia, Gina Watson and her family for a short break on route to NZ.

Day one was spent with Tracey ill in bed being sick all day, too ill to go out. But Si went out with Gina to one of the many dining out places - have you seen the size of the portions they offer in the US!

Next few days was spent chilling out, taking in the atmosphere before eventually flying out of LAX area on route to Christchurch. American security must of thought Tracey was a shoe bomber, having to remove her boots whilst going through security spot check. Then onwards for another 12 hour flight to Christchurch.

Few more photo's from the US visit
