Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel

I was lucky enough to get this hotel for a steal on hotwire.com for $99 USD for the night plus taxes.  This is a four-star hotel, quite nice with a grand lobby and the largest basic hotel room we have ever stayed in.  We finally had room to lay all of our suitcases open without cramping our style.  We lucked out and got a room on the third floor that has patio doors that walk out to an incredibly large terrace, shared by several rooms.  I worked on my blog on one of the tables, the morning that we left.    The internet is strong here and sufficient.  The terrace is a lovely spot in the sun and I had it all to myself until the two stoners came out and started smoking weed at one of the other tables.  I forgot that marijuana is legal in California. I can't handle that smell. Eat as much weed as you need or gummies or oil or whatever, but please don't smoke weed in front of me.  I may hurl on your shoes.


I recommend this hotel for an overnight stay as it is very close to LAX.

There is a Denny's just down the street (2 blocks) that you can walk to if you want to catch breakfast there.  I had a great meal at Denny's probably one of the best breakfasts at a restaurant I've ever had and it came to $28.40 American and my husband just had a coke. It is pricey as you are in the LAX area.  Expensive, everything is so bloody expensive now.

This hotel has instant hot water systems which must be in place to conserve water. Nice feature.

The only downside of staying this close to LAX is that the parking was 44 US dollars.  There is also a 10% parking tax on that for a grand total of $48.40 USD or $67.00 CND.  I remember pre-covid when I could get a hotel room in the LAX area on Hotwire for $69.00 with free parking.  
Apparently, those days are gone.   Somebody is making up for lost revenue during two years of Fricken covid. Outrageous!!

Climbing Mt. Solmar with The Dogs, Los Cabos, Mexico

Image
We heard about this climb from Darren's niece who had done the exact climb last week.  Whenever you do a search on hikes in the Los Cabos area, this Mount Solmar hike does not come up.  I would highly recommend it though because it was a great deal of fun and it was challenging.  I went with 3 friends and to top it all off there was a bunch of dogs walking with us up the mountain.   Enrique runs a Dog Training Center.  He started this hike with dogs to train them most likely. And now people join him for free and climb up Mount Solmar with the dogs. The dogs love it and they are barking and in a bit of a frenzy before you go.  You take an Uber or drive your car to the dog training center and you wait in line at 8:00 a.m. this hike accompanied by dogs is available every morning except Saturday.   Kent, Joelle, Craig and I in the line-up to get into see the dogs and start the climb. Enrique led us into the compound and gave us a talk on the area...

Ixtapa Island- Ixtapa, Mexico

Image
This is Coral Beach on Ixtapa Island The kids wanted to go to Ixtapa Island because this is where the best snorkeling is located in the Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo areas.  When we first started asking around and getting price quotes for this, we were getting prices anywhere from 90 - 110 American per person for a day trip to Ixtapa Island.  Anyone who knows us know that we hate organized tours because you get herded around like cattle, you don't get to make your own decisions and 90% of the time they are a rip-off for something that you can organize yourself.   Once the kids found out how expensive it was they began to research this trip and they realized that it's quite achievable to do without a tour or a tour guide for a fraction of the cost. We first took a taxi from Hilton Grand where we were staying to Playa Linda, where the Pier is located for the water taxis.  Our taxi from the Hilton Grand cost 300 pesos to get the 4 of us to Playa Linda where a lot of marke...

Kuilau Ridge Trail - Kauai, Hawaii

Image
My son Dax wanted to do this trail because it was in the interior of the island in the Rain Forest of Kauai. Some unusual Dr. Seuss like plants behind Kim. There is quite a bit of parking available before and after the bridge. There are washrooms available, they are super gross of the non flushing kind and the smell was really bad worse than your average outdoor Biffy. The trail begins at the yellow metal gates and there is a lot of elevation to climb up for the first section.  Eventually you get to the pretty views of a multitude of greens. You can literally take a ton of photos because every view is gorgeous! The forest is thick with some scary steep drop offs but the trail is wide enough for safety  You can continue for a longer trail for another 3.2 miles past the bridge but our hike was already going to be 2 hours round trip so we stopped at the bridge. That was enough beauty for one day. I highly recommend this hike and gave it a 5 out of 5 because it was moderately chal...
