Tuesday marked our last full day in California. Natalie and I booked facial appointments at a spa in Santa Monica while Emily was in class. Afterwards, we soaked up our last few hours in the warm California sun by walking along Ocean Avenue.
We enjoyed a late lunch at a small cafe on the Third Street Promenade, being sure to order a Nutella and coconut crepe for dessert.
My sister and I made a visit to Bloomingdale’s and made the necessary stops in the handbag section and at Forty Carrots.
Along with a few raspberry beers and a comedy, we had a low-key night in preparation of our morning flights.
A car service picked the two of us up just after 7am to take us to the airport, but Natalie flew to Arizona while I began my trip back to Baltimore.
For the record, watching “Magic Mike” on your iPad that is propped up on the tray table while sitting on the plane next to a conservative 65-year-old woman is really awkward. Then again, I had four hours to kill and motion sickness to avoid, so the stripping was happening.
Of course my flight landed late, giving me approximately nine minutes and thirty-four seconds to go to the bathroom, look at all of the food that I didn’t have time to buy, and sprint from gate A66 to A12 to catch my connecting flight. Arriving just before my name was called over the intercom, I was the last person to board the plane and was squished like a sardine on the most turbulent flight ever.
Have you seen the movie “Magic Mike”?
At least you had a lovely facial and yummy dessert before airline difficulties! I never saw Magic Mike, but haven’t heard many good reviews.
Definitely–the positives outweighed the negatives! I thought Magic Mike had good eye candy, but not the best plot.
I have seen in, and it sounds like the perfect movie for the flight you described :)
It did keep me entertained!
I haven’t seen Magic Mike, but really really want to. ;) I had a similar experience while watching Love & Basketball on an airplane in high school…. I was so awkward during the love scenes afraid of who could see my screen.
Hahaha so funny! LOVE that movie by the way (I think I have it on VHS!).
I haven’t seen it yet! That is so funnny though that you had to sit next to a 65 year old woman while watching it! It looks like you had a ton of fun in California!
It was awkward, but I’ll hopefully never see her again!
