Day 11
Fly home today 😪 We didn't have to check out until 12 so I sat out on the balcony enjoying a coffee in the sun for most of the time. We checked out and just sat in the 'yard' for about an hour just enjoying the sun and calm ambiance of the hotel. We then ordered an uber to take us to LAX, we had a lovely Tesla and it cost about $50. It took about an hour and was a great trip, really lovely car. We were flying American Airlines so we're at Terminal 4. Really quick check in considering we couldn't check in online, we did complete verifly and that's all we were asked to show as well as our passports. I did ask if there was any availability for an upgrade but she said it was a full flight so nothing available 😪 we were straight through security and T 4 is small so we sat at the gate and got some food from dunkin donuts. The flight was about 50 mins late taking off but made up some of that time and we landed about 30 mins late. The seats on AA were really narrow, no difference to leg room though. I did have a lady sat next to me but no issues. Food OK, you do get bread roll and cheese and biscuits which is an improvement on BA. I took melatonin and managed to sleep on and off for around 5/6 hours. No issues with luggage, e gates were open so straight through there and were soon driving home. Jet lag again hitting hard so was in bed asleep by 8pm. All in all a great holiday, we will definately be going vack to Disneyland and possibly include a Pacific highway road trip next time. I highly recommend both hotels we used and would book both again. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. |

Really enjoyed following your trip.
Was wondering if you used the shuttle from the Garland to Universal (there and back) and if so how was it? Thanks |

Yes we used it a lot. As it is still their winter there is a point where its not very frequent in middle of the day but we just worked around the times. The only problem was the one evening we stayed till park close at 6pm, the pick up at 6 15 was very busy and not everyone could get on as bus not big. The driver told them they had to wait till next bus at 8.15! He then back tracked and said he would come straight back up. This could be an issue at busier times. Here is the current time table
One day the driver even dropped us off at the metro station at bottom of hill as we were only ones on bus.(we did want to be dropped off there 😆 Edited at 10:35 PM. |

Thanks for the info on the shuttle nursetina, appreciate it. Hope you're getting over the jet lag - have a note to myself to buy some melatonin after reading about it here - hopefully it works for you.

I really rate melatonin. I tend to get the 5mgs and that works great. I took 1 on the flight and it definately helped me sleep, I also took 1 my first night back to help me get a good sleep and I slept solidly for 11hrs . Since then I've not suffered at all and now feel back in my normal sleep pattern.

Great trip report thanks, I looked at the garland but we wanted places around the hotel to eat and TA forum said there is nothing around, would you say that is the case?
Interesting about the melatonin, I’ve seen mention of it before. I’m wondering if I should get some for my husband as we arrive back the Sunday afternoon and he is back to work the Monday morning! He did agree to this on booking but I rather suspect he will have forgotten that when it actually comes to doing it.
