Honeymoon. Anyone from LA?

Question

My fiancé and I are going to drive across part of the USA after we get married next year. We are going to fly in to LA and go from there. Has anyone got any tips to make this extra special?? Hoping to spend a few nights in LA at the end so any recommendations would be much appreciated :) xxx

Answer

My fiancé and I are doing something similar! We're flying out to somewhere in California and driving/hiking/camping the coast and staying at a few hotels/bed and breakfast as well. We don't have it all figured out yet but I'm happy to see someone else doing something similar for their honeymoon!

Answer

My husband and I are from San Francisco but we go to LA pretty frequently as it's only a 1 hour plane ride or 6 hour drive for us. Last year alone I went 5 times! LOL! We also went last month...
The thing about LA is that even though it's a big city, their public transportation is really unreliable and crappy. You have to get a rental car and drive but beware, traffic is AWFUL. You literally have to get on a freeway to get to your destination no matter where you go... There's even traffic jams on the weekend and 7-8 pm at night.
My husband and I mainly go there to eat! 😂
But for cheap shopping you should check out Santee Alley, it's a huge shopping area that has everything and anything but it's not expensive! There's also Little Tokyo and Korea Town (all 3 of these places aren't too far away), If you go to Korea Town you have to eat at Hae Jang Chon (all you can Korean BBQ, the wait can be long but it's worth it). 
There's also Bottega Louie which is known for their amazing bakery, their macaroons are orgasmic and you have to get their portobello fries. There isn't much to do in Downtown LA, there's no shopping, it's mainly a financial district. 
You should check out Santa Monica and Venice Beach, it's a bit touristy but if you've never been you should go! You could also hit up Hollywood but parking is hard there and it's always crowded. If you're into movies and what not you could do a tour of the Paramont Studios but you have to get tickets ahead of time...
I also recommend Tsujuita Ramen which is near Santa Monica!
There are a couple of really nice malls too, one in LA called "The Grove", the other is Glendale Galleria in Glendale (not too far of a drive from downtown LA) and South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa but the stores in that mall are ridiculously expensive!
And if you book a hotel, I suggesting booking outside of LA because it's always more expensive and try to find a hotel that has free parking!

Answer

I'm from California. It really all depends on what you are into.  There are a few art museums, there is a meseum of natural history/science, a few different theme park's (Disneyland will give you a Just Married button of you go there, have to go to the "fire department" building to get it.) there are aquariums, beaches you need to be careful about. Some can be really dirty and nasty while others are nice. I used to surf at Bolsa Chica. Just make sure you shuffle your feet when walking in the water if you go past ankle deep...
