Day six found us running a few errands in Kingman, AZ before heading back West to California. We had to make a quick stop at the local police station to fill out papers so that I can get my copy of the report from the accident (eventually, because its been a few weeks and I still haven't gotten my report). I also had to stop at the local post office. It was there that I met a married couple that were retiring from the Postal Service later this year. The husband wanted to know what part of Kentucky I was from...if it was a small town...if people would leave you alone...what the taxes were like in Kentucky...and if he could learn to talk like me if he moved there. ;-) His wife just wanted to move somewhere close to a mall. Alas, my hometown is nowhere near being close to a mall, so I gave them a few other suggestions on possible places to relocate in Kentucky.
From Arizona we began to head towards California...following along Route 66 most of the time. :-) This made me very, very happy to say the least. I found the Route 66 Museum but it was closed when I got there. :-( We made it to Los Angeles just as the sun was setting. However, I didn't KNOW we were in Los Angeles. It was dark, traffic was horrible, and I just didn't have much time to pay attention to any signs. I listened soley to my GPS system. We finally found a hotel and after checking in, I decided to look at some of the brochures in the hotel lobby. Mom and I decided to take a tour of Los Angeles on our last day in Southern California. So I called the number to reserve our spot. When the owner asked me what hotel I was staying in and I told him, he said, "Oh okay. So you are in downtown Los Angeles then."
"I'm WHAT?! WHERE am I?!" Downtown L.A.? Me? I'm gonna have to start paying attention to signs. No wonder traffic was horrible.
Anyway, the rest of that night was spent watching "Criminal Minds" (when Mom wasn't watching Mexican soap operas that is) and sleeping. Day 7 was reserved for Disneyland...and boy was I excited about that?!
