Off we go! A day at sea tomorrow, before we arrive Ensenada on Thursday morning!

Two busy days in LA are over, now it's time to cruise down to Ensenada in Mexico 🇲🇽 on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas! 🚢

Paid a visit to Angels Flight Railway - the 'world's shortest railway' - while I was downtown.

Pasadena, California 🇺🇸 one of my favourite places on this trip!

Big noisy bois at Union Station, Los Angeles ❤️

Downtown LA this afternoon 🇺🇸

Pretty impressed with the LA Metro! Sure it's not perfect, the routes aren't comprehensive, but a $5 daily cap and I've travelled for miles on it 😁

Today is a Metro kinda day 🚉

Had a fun day driving this beast around Los Angeles 🐎 ❤️ always wanted to drive a Ford Mustang, so that's now ticked off 😁

Santa Monica, California 🇺🇸

Los Angeles Zoo, California 🇺🇸

Point Vicente Lighthouse, California 🇺🇸

Redondo Beach, California 🇺🇸

The views didn't stop at Greenland... we had views right from Canada to LAX! #Avgeek

Greenland once again providing the goods as we fly over! Stunning 😍 #Avgeek

The SAS Economy meal service is... interesting 🙈 no options, just chicken with vegetables. The meal itself was okay, beats the Air France Economy meal I had to Dubai 🤣 I have no idea what an upcycled banana is, but the cake wasn't too offensive given I hate bananas 🤮 the roll was nice too!

And we're off! Despite a delay due to deicing, we're scheduled to land on time in LA! This is my first time flying SAS Long Haul and I still don't know how I feel about only being allowed one free drink with the main meal 🙈 little bit low cost! #Avgeek

Next up, LA baby! SAS A330-300 LN-RKU is taking me to Los Angeles this afternoon ✈️ #Avgeek

A pleasant but somewhat noisy flight across to Copenhagen! The engines were so loud at the back that crew handed out earplugs 🙈 #Avgeek

First flight and first holiday of the year! 😁 SAS/CityJet CRJ900 EI-GED is taking me across to Copenhagen this morning ✈️ #Avgeek

A pleasant flight down to Malta this afternoon, not full so plenty of space! And 15 minutes shorter than the estimated 3h10m. Gorgeous evening here! #Avgeek

Anyway, that's enough trains for today 😅 back to planes! Flying to Malta for a few nights. First time visiting, so excited to explore! Ryanair Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 EI-IFP has the honours #Avgeek

Train to Kettering was late, missed connection to Luton Airport Parkway 😅 oh well, delay repay ahoy.

And off goes 810010 as it continues its journey non stop to London St Pancras! Overall, a very pleasant ride this morning and it was certainly eating up capacity. My next train is a full and standing 5 Coach Meridian 🙈

In terms of the interior, they are absolutely the best Class Hitachi train out there. It's not even a competition! The lighting is spot on, the colours are warm and inviting, it just looks and feels the part.

A dawn of a new era for East Midlands Railway this morning - Class 810 'Aurora' 810010 arrives at Sheffield to work 1C17 the 07:00 Sheffield to London St Pancras. This is the first passenger service for the Class 810.
