The start
My departure from Ottawa was unusual. The security check guy made me remove and scan my shoes and then proceeded to frisk me. I must have been flustered by it all, because sometime between that point and when I went to depart from LA for Fiji, my passport went astray. I have never lost my passport before, and hope I never lose it again. If I could have it tatooed onto my arm (or back or whatever, within reason) I would.
As a result of losing my passport, I missed my flight to Fiji and was delayed two days in LA (not the most interesting part of LA either). Anywayafter a day of running around in downtown LA and learning about public transit in LA, I now have a replacement passport and am scheduled to leave at 10:30 tonight.
Now I'm looking for something to do for the next 12 hours. Maybe I can find one of the art galleries around here (around, meaning within 20 miles) . Anyway, right now, I'm doing this - setting up my blog and shortly, I'll let you all know where it is.
