This year has been momentous, in that, I was able to make a couple of girls trip.
The first trip was in January with my best buddies from college. We flew (me from WA, one from CA and the other from MN) and we met in Las Vegas. This was the first time we made it as just us and it was a much needed one for each of us. It was a trip to reconnect, be carefree and unwind. That's exactly what we did. What better place to do that other than LV.
The second one was to LA in October with my cousin from CA. We had been planning this trip since 2012 and finally made it this year.
The plan has been to go to the 'Real Time With Bill Maher' show that airs live on HBO on friday nights. We had to request tickets through their online ticket request form (we did this 3 weeks ahead just as soon as we finalized the dates for the trip) and follow up with a voicemail (I called couple of days before as we had not got a confirmation and we were getting anxious), to finally get a call from them for confirmation (which we did, the day before).
We arrived in LA on a Friday afternoon for the show goes live on friday evening. It was such an amazing experience. We were actually in the audience on the show that aired on Oct 3, 2014! The first interview was with Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts!! The panel members were Nicholas Kristof, Michael Steele and Actor Ben Affleck! Sam Harris joined in for a mid-show interview. More details about the guests here. The show caused quite a stir and led to a series of debates following that.
The rest of the weekend was spent loitering on Hollywood Boulevard and Manhattan Beach.
