Our trip started off with a drive to the Park N Ride to catch an early departure from Richmond at 6:35 am for Los Angeles via Dallas on American Air Lines. In LA we took the Super Shuttle from LAX to the Hotel Maya. This hotel is located in Long Beach right next to the Queen Mary (pictured below) which we planned to visit for dinner. The temperature in LA was colder at noon that it was in Richmond at 4:30 in the morning!
