Thursday 4 June 2009 Highlights: Avoiding car rental damage charges The day started really well when I found out I didn’t have to pay extra for the damage to the car from the Vegas accident.

Wednesday 3 June 2009 Highlights: Venice Beach, Citadel Shopping An overcast day for my last full day in America.

Tuesday 2 June 2009 Highlights: Great fun at Knott’s Berry Farm A very cool day. Originally we had Universal Studios on the agenda but I’ll be back to see that in January with Andrew, plus Knott’s had a very good senior discount so my mum was happy to give them a go.
