LAX Oneworld Lounge

We have made it as far as LAX and are living it up in the Oneworld Business Lounge, thanks to a freebie "invitation" coupon from Mum.

Wren and Frost are the youngest business-men by a long way and Frost had to be dissauded from digging into the bar snacks. We have now eaten dinner (mini-pizza, thai beef, rice, carrot sticks, ranch, noodles) and will have desert soon although this trip is proving to be one long desert.

Both kids did well on the first flight although we were late in departing and had to wait about 40 minutes in the plane after pre-boarding. Wren decided that he was done after an hour and headed to the back door to exit. He was a bit sad when he realized he couldn't get off and had to be jelly-beaned for a while. Pens and paper, jelly-beans and books have been our greatest success as well a stickers. I hope to leave with time to buy a few more stickers for the next stage. [Wren is watching Wiggles on Youtube in the lounge with me while I type].

We had to recheck for new boarding passes at Tom Bradley International (yes Mum, we are flying from Tom Bradley not Terminal 4) and had an African-American helping check us in. Wren sat on the counter and said "its OBAMA!" which was both embaressing and amusing. Thankfully the checkin dude was a queen and thought it frightfully funny.

I don't think I will shower because Wren would find it too traumatic and I would not really get much benefit. STill, it is lovely to have a real clean toilet and nice smelling soap. Frost says "it is a real five star lounge and Wren should be a gentleman [ie not talk at high volume all the time as he is doing demanding "lets see it THIS ONE" a few seconds into each Youtube video.

Thanks mum. This is making things very easy!
