| Marcia and Frank in front of the rental -- ready to rock! |
And the New Zealand
adventure begins! We rented a car to drive to Newark Airport and flew to L.A. to
stay for one night to break up the long flight.
 |
| Frank and sister Marcia arrive in Hermosa Beach |
Instead of
staying at the usual airport hotel, Anne found a place in Hermosa Beach. Great
little, low-key but upscale beach town.
 |
| Eating Mexican and imbibing "real deal"margaritas! |
The three of us celebrated with some excellent, authentic Mexican cuisine.
Good margaritas too.
 |
| La La girls, Marcia and Anne, at the beach |
Since our
flight to Tahiti didn’t leave until 11:00 p.m., we had a whole day to enjoy the
beach in La La Land. Or as Frank likes to say two La La Girls in La La Land.

| Beach bum on Hermosa Beach |
We all
frolicked on the beautiful, wide beach, soaking up the warmth and the sun.
 |
| Sea lion scavenging for food under the pier |
We walked the picturesque Hermosa Beach Pier, checking out the fisherman and their
catch. And even spotted a sea lion, hoping to relieve the fishermen of some of their
fish.
 |
| Crazy touristas who think they can surf |
Hermosa Beach
has a famous statue of a surfer, and with the help of some new friends from New
York, we all got into the act, climbing all over that poor surfer guy. (You
know how crazy touristas are!)
 |
| Beautiful; Hermosa Beach |
This was a
great way to start our trip, and we are definitely in the mood for Tahiti now!

Bye bye Hermosa Beach
we have a date with Tahiti! |
Love seeing the three of you having such a great time and the trip has not even officially started! Can't wait to hear about Tahiti; we were there in 2000 and it was beautiful.
