CANVAZ - 6th - 21st March 2014 Day 1

A long overdue trip to California, Nevada and Arizona(CANVAZ) for John and Colin. A little over two weeks and a lot of mileage to do. We departed LHR after the standard hearty brekkie at Giraffe. Then off  for the long flight to LAX on board BA's, G-BYGG, arriving in Los Angeles at around 1300hrs local.

Arriving at LAX, we enjoyed a nice slow taxi in to the terminal, passing the Coast Guard ramp where three Dauphin's hit the net, excellent start!
After a short delay clearing customs, we headed for the car hire centre and were soon on our way. Heading for Imperial Hill for the remainder of the day.

With daylight fading, it was off to find some food before heading for the Motel 6, situated between the runways. First night in America, it's gotta be a burger, so Carl's Junior had the honours!

Then it was time to sleep, busy schedule and an early start for day 2!
