We've spent our last couple of days doing a last bit of bargain shopping & catching up with ex-pat Kiwis, firstly we meet up with Steve Curle at his office in Long beach, he ships cars back to NZ & where-ever, as our dollar gets higher the busier he gets, yesterday the dollar went up over 70cents, he said his phone started ringing at 5am....
Last night we went to the fish market and had a steamed lobster, corn on the cob and a large beer for $20, a tasty combination....not really filling, so we went to Ruby's diner & had a sundae !!!!
Today we caught up with Robin Silk at So-Cal speed shop, he showed us around some of the cars he's been building, then went to Ontario Mills outlet centre..,wow, that's what you call a shopping Mall, so big we didn't have time to see all the shops..but did find some bargains!!!!...reason to buy another suitcase, so packing was fun tonight, we managed to squeeze it all in.
Tonight I had a bonus, as across the road from where we're staying is a Ruby's Diner, guess what on Friday night they have a Hot Rod show, so spent a hour or so taking photos of the cars. While we were there, we heard two loud booms - we were told that they were the NASA Space Shuttle breaking the sound barrier as it re-entered the atmosphere. Another amazing experience.
So I guess this will be our last entry, as tomorrow we fly home.....looking forward to catching up with you all & sharing our experiences...the good & the not so good, has been enjoyable sharing our memoirs with you all and receiving your comments.
