Last day in LA

Sunday 23. Last day in LA today, so up early and put all the clothes, shoes, handbags, dresses, skirts, hats and Flashman's small kit onto the bed for the expert packer to make it all fit. I'm sure, that if we have to open it on arrival it will all spring out like a giant jack-in-the-box. We headed off to the Getty Centre with Lady P driving and Tas navigating. Flashman was in the back providing lifesavers and amusing anecdotes. The Getty Centre was simply outstanding and we wandered about for a couple of hours managing to see only two of the four wings of the gallery before it was time to adjourn to the Getty restaurant for our lunch reservation. We decided as it was our last day that we should relax and enjoy it so it was fitting to enjoy a stunning meal in most amazing surroundings. The architecture of the Getty Centre is just out of this world and the camera is loaded with photos which I (Lady P) will post at a later date. The sculpture garden was simply inspiring and even in the drought conditions the limited garden beds of dahlias and other flowering annuals were a spectacular sight among the native grasses and succulents. Its definitely on the list of places to return to next time we're in town. 
Back 'home' to West Hollywood via sunset Boulevard and Beverley Hills to freshen up, zip up the cases and throw out the rubbish before heading out to LAX to drop off the hire car, jump the shuttle and within in an hour be checked in, through the body scanner and in the lounge sipping on a G & T. Tas leaves an hour earlier on his A380 to Melbourne so we meet him for a Stella in the bar downstairs before adjourning up to the lounge where we write up the last blog.
