My Los Angeles vacation diaries (Part 1)

Happy Monday everyone,
Can you believe that it's already September? Hope, you had fabulous summer full of joy and unforgettable moments.
Those of you who follow me on Instagram already know about my Los Angeles vacation, so I'm finally back and ready to share with you some of the photos and my experience, so let's get started:
Travel to Los Angeles, California. J.W. Marriott hotel, Downtown,
Back side of J.W. Marriott Hotel in downtown Los Angeles
 It was one of those hot and extremely humid August afternoons when I finally sat down on the back seat of our driver's SUV, after running around from one room to another, worrying about the staff that I could forget.
This time, I managed to be on time at the airport, so I did not lose my expensive items like my laptop or camera, just like during my trip to Europe, LoL .
 So, after we found our seats on the plane, a few minutes later we realized that it was not going to take off anytime soon, for different reasons, so we ended up spend extra 1.5 hour on the plane. But while we were landing in Los Angeles International Airport, we were so excited , didn't even remember the time we had spent on the plane __ the sun was going down and the sky was unbelievably beautiful.

Since Los Angeles is 3 hours behind, by the time we got our laguage, got the taxi and checked in J.W. Marriott hotel in downtown Los Angeles, we already were not only tired but sleepy too. So we just went to the nearest restaurant for some light dinner and went back to the hotel.

Next day, after our breakfast at the hotel, we went for a walk to explore the dounwtown Los Angeles __ not too much to see as a traveler, at least that's how I felt.

After lunch, we decided to take an advice of our taxi driver and went to the Pasific Park in Santa Monica, California. 
 It was a cute amusement park right on the pier__ great place to hang out with a family or friends. The park had rides, ocean front specialty food outlets and seaside shopping (mostly souvenirs and stuff like that). It was little crowdy but not very annoying.

Sunset in Santa Monica, California, 

 The best thing about Pacific Park was definitely its location __ watching the sunset on Pacific Ocean was absolutely magical.

Later that evening, we rented a car and drove to Anaheim, California __ the city of Disneyland resort.

After we checked in Marriott Anaheim hotel and bought the Disneyland tickets at the Disneyland counter, at the lobby area, we were ready for Disney adventure for next morning.

    1. Well, Marriott is never cheap, but my husband travels a lot and stays only at Marriott every country he's on business trip. So he is a Gold Elite Member and he has many benefits like free Breackfast and so on. So their rates work for us. xx
