August 24-27, 2006 Michelle, Smita, Uyen and I decided it was time for a gal's trip. We thought of New York, Miami, and San Francisco as possible destinations, but I thought, why not LA? The money we saved on airfare could go toward an awesome gal's weekend exploring a city in a way we've never taken the time to do before. We had so much fun; LA rules. | |
Thursday night: we arrived at Hotel Angeleno (which we loved) on Thursday night and spent a mellow night catching up in the bar/lounge on the top floor of the hotel | |

Friday: First we had a light breakfast at Jack n' Jill's in Santa Monica, followed by an intense Yoga session at Power Yoga. Afterwards, it was a yummy lunch at Real Food Daily. We had a free afternoon so we went back to our hotel and lounged by the pool before dolling up for dinner at Yamashiro. | |
