Hi,
We're coming to LA and Anaheim for the first time in October and have a load of questions, I hope none of them are too stupid!
1. We're driving into Anaheim from Las Vegas. My SatNav is telling me this journey will take approximately 4 and a half hours ( we can go pretty much non-stop as we have two drivers.) The route is bringing us along I15 - where is there to get some lunch on this route?
2. Showing my ignorance here - do we change time zones on this trip? If we did this would mean our 4 and a half hour journey would only take 3 and a half hours out of the day as we're going East -> West?
3. We've decided to use the afternoon/evening after getting to the LA area to have a look around the famous parts (Beverley Hills, Sunset Boulevard etc.) My SatNav says these are about 30 mins from Disneyland - is that a littl hopeful for newbies navigating LA for the first time?!?! It seems pretty easy from the map, just follow the I5 then the 101?
4. Is there somewhere we can park safely to take a walk around Hollywood? We're mainly interested in the BIG tourist draws - the Hollywood sign, Chinese Theatre, Sunset Boulevard etc.
5. My FFIL has said he wants to drive along part of the Pacific Coast Highway and mentioned something about a ship (ex-military?) he wanted to see. Is this feasible? Could you use the I5 coming back from Hollywood area, then turn onto Lakewood Boulevard and follow that to the Pacific Coast Highway? Drive along the PCH until Newport Beach then get on the 55 to get back to the I5? Would that take forever? I'm struggling with the scale of the maps coming from England!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
