Leaving Las Vegas, sorry, Los Angeles ...

Well, America, it's been fun. I'm sitting here in the international terminal at LAX paying a quarter per minute to say that's I'm nearly done. Check-in had a few dramas but I got there in the end. I see a sports bar in the distance, which is a fitting finale. Thanks to Cole's New World for letting me crash at his joint last night - the views of City Of Angels skyline had to be seen to be believed - and for the whirlwind tour of Hollywood. Before returning the hire car this afternoon I did a final bit of shopping and went to Dodger Stadium. For the uninitiated, that's a place where Major League Baseball is played. I've seen a few of those on this trip.

Anyway, it's back to you Richie in the central commentary position. As I've said, it's been a blast. Stay tuned for the recap in the coming weeks.
