We departed from Niagara-on-the-Lake at 8:00am, and was cold -10c, but bright sunshine, so a good day for flying.
Our flight leaving from Toronto (AC#799) was delayed in departing by a hour, this was because half the travellers were still being processed through US Customs, it appears that only half of them did not show up for work, they must think this was a holiday or something, any way with a NIXUS card our time was 3 minutes to get through the process and skipping the long lines.
Los Angles was great as always, sunny and 23c, California is the place to be (or live), too bad it is so far away from Eastern Canada, but I would prefer this area to Florida any day. However, the airport is a bit of a zoo, but it is a big airport, there were two of Quantas's A380 double level jumbo jets on the tarmac.
We stayed over our first nigh in LA at the Marriott LAX (Century Blvd.), only because that ensured we were in the LA in time for our cruise departure on the next day, in the event our flight was delayed (and it was). This hotel must have had over 2,000 rooms, it was enormous. I did find out that a German Motorcycle group use this hotel as a starting point for Route 66 (West to East), memo to file, next years trip.
