Wolfgang Puck Express Los Angeles Airport (LAX), LA USA

We needed a break. We needed some relaxation away from home. Our last time flying somewhere for vacation, just the two of us, was when we went to Hawaii for New Years. How fitting that we would choose the same destination to go to, just as spontaneously as before. We used a combination of United, […]

We arrived at Della’s Kitchen a few hours before my […]
