So, in my preparation to come here....I had printed all the mapquest directions from airport to host, host to track, track to airport, airport to new host, etc, etc....
So, on the plane, I re-organized my directions, consoladated everything, then paper clipped it all, w/ a map of LA....PERFECT..
As I'm waiting for the shuttle to take me to my rental car....I realize I've lost that great packet...so now all I have is my host family's phone number and it's 10:30PM...I call and she's obviously asleep...I couldn't bring myslef to bother her w/ directions. So, I called Mike...no answer...called again, nothing....called again left a 'Colorful' message, something like, "Gee, these cell phones work better in emergencies, if the second person ANSWERS"...
So, I decided to search for internet access in LA at 11:30...get the address from my email, then mapquest it...and after some driving around the LAX airport....I stumbled upon a Travelodge..'oh, I bet they have internet for their guest'...and they did, the kind you pay $5.00 for 5min...and it's so slow you want to shoot yourself...but I got what I needed...and finally at ~1AM I arrived at Alex Trabata (?)'s house...
