Day 1: New Zealand to Los Angeles

Well, after an almost 12 hour flight we have finally got to our hotel in Passadena, L.A.
We left Auckland airport at approximately 9:30pm on Thursday 10th and after a lengthy, uncomfortable, but of course necessary flight we arrived at Los Angeles airport at 2:30pm, Thursday the 10th. Horray for time travel!
Feeling entirely jet-lagged (having got quite literally no sleep on the plane) we found our way to the rental car office (which for reasons that escape me had no less than 19 security cameras in an area of less than 500 metres squared) and found our car.
Next we negotiated our way through the spaghetti that is the various Interstates and found our way into Pasadena itself, and our hotel: The Courtyard Marriott, which shall be our home base for the next few days.
It all seems rather unreal really, the city is gigantic (flying in it was a mass of houses and other buildings) and quite frankly my brain is not functioning properly having been awake now for almost 30 hours.
Oh well, after a rest tonight, hopefully I'll feel more human tomorrow. Disneyland, here we come.
