USA Visual Travel Journal - Day #1
Manhattan Beach, Ladera Ranch, San Diego.
Flying into Los Angeles from Sydney, landing at 6am. Picking up the car and heading straight to Manhattan Beach to catch the sunrise before hitting the road.
Next stop: seeing my lovely friends Bri and Justin and meeting their beautiful new baby, Kaia, an absolute bundle of joy. A little bit of ๐ค shopping in Ladera Ranch in Orange County to finish off my stopover.
Then itโs down to San Diego to catch up with my mate Dane and his girlfriend, Alex. We then soak up Paradise Beach and the surrounding unreal coastline.
