My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

USA 1989: Los Angeles - City of the Stars...

"To get full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with..." - Mark Twain

Los Angeles, USA

This trip to LA was made after my 2-week Reserve Management Seminar in New York organised by J.P. Morgan. Our initial plan to visit San Francisco was cancelled because of time constraint. We ended up staying in Los Angeles for a week and had the opportunity to rent a car and visit San Diego Sea World and Zoo. We even arranged a trip to cross the USA-Mexico border and visited the cowboy town of Tijuana.

No trip to Los Angeles is complete without a visit to Hollywood. Hollywood beckons tourists with landmarks like TCL Chinese Theatre and star-studded Walk of Fame. Highlights include Paramount Pictures, historic music venues like the Hollywood Bowl, and Dolby Theatre, home of the Oscars. Scenesters can choose from improv comedy clubs, retro-cool bars and velvet-roped nightclubs. Locals frequent eateries in nearby Thai Town.

When you visit Los Angeles, you’ll discover that much of the vibrant life here seems to thrive somewhere between reality and dream. This alluring place is where trends are born. Greater Los Angeles embodies everything that makes the United States a great place to visit: beautiful scenery, world-famous attractions and a wonderful selection of activities. Among others, be sure to visit Disneyland in Anaheim, Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood , Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and the many picturesque coastal communities including Long Beach, Santa Monica and Newport Beach.

In your arms a simple peace, 
Haunts my mind of separation. 
Beyond my body’s own existence 
Did I learn my destination?

With my promise always breaking 
Soon may come the day. 
When honest words are spoken, 
Please send me on my way.
