After the drama of getting to the airport, everything else runs pretty smoothly.
The flight was good, but a little bit late. Once we land in LA and get phone working the camper van rental place is open.
Initially we were going to get our van in the afternoon, so we head over to drop our bags and look about, but when we arrive it’s ready for us. So let’s get this trip on the road
First stop is super close, only a 5 minute drive to Pann’s Restaurant for our first American diner experience: fried chicken and waffles for me, grilled cheese and ham for Anna. Really hits the spot!
Then we start proper: an easy hour-long drive to an RV park outside LA (a place called Astor).
After checking in it’s out first Walmart experience to stock up before Death Valley tomorrow. More on big Walmart things another time
Mexican beans and a beer for dinner
