The train from San Diego got in around 12.30pm. We had arranged to pick up the rental car from LAX originally but never thought about how it would be much easier to get it when we hoped off the train at Union Station... not to mention cheaper seeing as we would avoid another $70 cab ride! So after a little deliberation with the guy at the desk we got it all sorted and drove out of the station with a Chevy Malibu.
We drove around LA for a few hours looking for a video camera again and a laptop for Caddy with no luck. We ended up leaving downtown right around 4.30 and by the time we got 'gas' we were heading out of town right in time for the dreaded '5 o'clock gridlock' as they kept referring to it on the radio.
We had planned a 4.5 hr trip but it ended up being more like 6.5 by the time we arrived on the strip in Vegas.
