During her long stay there, the actress used the opportunity to meet up with several of her school friends and relatives.
Rodeo Drive
I went to Rodeo Drive with my friends, who I was meeting after four years. This place is known as a shopping destination and you get a lot of designer labels there. I did not shop a lot but as I am obsessed with bags, I bagged a few! I already have a huge collection. I also purchased sunglasses and shoes from there.
MGM Grand Hotel
I stayed at the iconic hotel and they had put up this huge Christmas tree outside for all their guests to see and enjoy. It was so well decorated that I could not resist clicking picture while posing in front of it. The atmosphere was electrifying!
Disneyland
I visited Disneyland with my relatives and there were a few kids from my family as well. In their company, I too became a kid. I ditched my diet and had ice cream, chocolates and other fat food. My family pampered me a lot. I bought a cute Mini Mouse bow hair band, which I posed with.
At the Universal Studios
I really loved the 3D tunnel-360 degrees ride and the other adventure rides there. It was fun. I also had a déjà vu moment when during a documentary film screening there, they spoke about how 3D films are made and technical aspects of filmmaking. It was quite informative as well.
Cirque du Soleil
In Las Vegas I attended several grand theatrical shows like David Copperfield Show, O by Cirque du Soleil, Zarkana and many more. It was a really memorable experience. Many big hotels in Vegas conducts these shows and they are very interesting to watch.
Grand Canyon
I also took a chopper ride over the Grand Canyons that also took us over the Hoover dam. Our chopper even landed in the Canyons. I spent half an hour there before returning to a beautiful sunset over the Strip in Vegas. I took another chopper ride over New York City.
