Spent the weekend down in Los Angeles. Saturday we got an early start due to a “general alarm” at 6am in the hotel. Hotel alarm systems are pretty cool – not only was there a very loud siren, but it also tells you that there is an emergency and that you should leave the building. Of course, at 6am this was not particularly what I wanted to hear!

Still, it got us to Disneyland nice and early, and we spent the whole day there (not leaving until after midnight). Some of the older rides were not open (e.g. Space Mountain), and the new Winnie the Pooh ride in Critter Country was having a bad day (several temporary closures). Apart from that we had no real problems all day there.

The rest of the weekend was more relaxed. Just shopping and driving around sightseeing. Back here Monday evening.
