Last Stop, Hollywood!
/As we got closer to LA, we blindly booked a room using Hotwire.com (you know, where you don't find out where you're staying until AFTER you pay). We totally lucked out and got a room at the Hollywood Roosevelt for a great rate. On top of that we lucked out again at check in, Abe asked the clerk if they had any upgrades available. She put us on the 12th floor in the room that adjoins the penthouse. And guess what? The doors that connect it to the penthouse were OPEN...we couldn't help ourselves, we had to explore the suite. It was awesome!
Our room had a great view of Hollywood Blvd. The Oscars are this Sunday and they already have the street blocked off, filled with trailers and surrounded by security. The Red Carpet was rolled out (covered in thick plastic) but we walked on it into the Kodak Theater. Getting to see all that goes into it will make watching the award show this weekend even more special.
