You are my new best friend! I’m going to be down in LA for a week to do this one-week class mid-august. However! I am staying in Hollywood and must somehow get to Beverly Hills on the bus every day!! woot woot! Everyone I know in LA has never ever ridden the goddamn bus and is therefore very unhelpful. if you could help me out a little that would be so so awesome! I’m going from sunset and Gordon to 1441 South Robertson blvd. My plan is to take the 210 from Hollywood & Vine south to Wilshire & Rossmore. then take the 720 or 920 west to Robertson blvd. Then just walk 7 blocks south. Is that a remotely decent plan? The bus map is kinda confusing. I also tried choosing buses that were more frequent. If you could help that would be AMAZING. Thanks!

It seems cruel to insist that they carry my cup back to the galley and remember what seat it goes to.

It used to be that the flight attendants would stare blankly at it, but now they roll with it as if they were coffee baristas. I always take my sippy cup with me on trips and use it throughout.
