Relaxing on a Sunday afternoon on Rodeo Drive whilst my partner does her bit towards boosting the American economy. We had a great lunch at the Beverly Wiltshire Regent Hotel made famous in the movie ‘Pretty Woman’.

The last 4 days have been busy with non-stop parties. The V Australia launch in LA two nights ago with Richard Branson was certainly one of the best parties I’ve been to. After shopping on
Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, I book a massage to relax before heading out to dinner at the famous ‘Mr Chow’ restaurant with a good friend of mine who lives in LA.

My friend made big money in real estate back in the ’90s in LA. He purchased more than 1000 residential properties in 1993 and 1994 and due to the property boom over the next decade did very well. I recall him a few years back saying he was selling his residential properties and moving into commercial.

Turns out he did that with good timing just before the US residential market crashed. Tomorrow I’m planning to take my partner to Disneyland. I’ve been once before but my partner hasn’t.

Disneyworld in Orlando Florida is actually better then Disneyland in LA but it’s still a lot of fun especially for a big kid like me.
