I am in Los Angeles. I made it.
This will be brief until I’m able to get back on later. The last three days (one in Joshua Tree National Park and the two days of driving that followed) have been… insane.
After arriving at the hotel here where 700+ other kids who grew up in Saudi would be spending the next three days, the first person I would see would be another brat from the class of 1960-something. Hugs, talks, more brats…
I spill a latte onto my laptop JUST as I finished downloading photos from the prior two days.
I don’t know if I can get it fixed. For those who would ask, yes, there was sugar in the coffee. Ten raw sugars. 
I may see if I can get someone to look at it today.
But I guess the big news is that I’m here. I made it to LA. 35 days of traveling and I’m here.
Congratulations…!! if you didn’t know it before,but I’m sure you’ve realized it now,
journeys aren’t always about the destination…
I’m glad you are safe… even if your camera and laptop are worse for wear..
Aww I’m so happy you finally made it Scott!!!
On the other hand, sorry about the Saudi’s and sugar filled latte spill
Your pictures are amazing throughout the entire trip.
Hey Scott! It’s great to hear you made it to LA! I enjoyed experiencing your journey vicariously, and hope that you will continue to recount your experiences now that you’re out there. I’m sure you will be able to put a different spin on the city and shatter a lot of the preconceptions people have about it. I look forward to reading your observations. Good luck with the lap top!
