Snowbird RV Adventure Part 1 Ends: Pomona to USC to Bellingham


Part 1: Days 41 - 43

Women's basketball at USC.
December 14-15: We got up and moved our RV from the KOA to long-term storage. It was bittersweet. We were glad to be heading back to Bellingham, but it has been so much fun traveling and staying in new places.

We arranged for an Uber ride to the Los Angeles Vagabond Inn at USC for the last three days of our adventure. We couldn't stay in our favourite USC Hotel because it was full for the Rolling Loud music festival nearby.

The men played my alma mater, Long Beach State University.
We had tickets for two University of Southern California basketball games, The first was the Women of Troy vs. University of Las Vegas. The next day it was men playing the 49ers from California State University, Long Beach. That was my alma mater for both my bachelor's and master's degrees.

An advantage of the Vagabond Inn was its close proximity to restaurants. The down side was youthful (and noisy) music festival goers next door the last night.


December 16: We got up early to get an Uber ride to Los Angeles International Airport. Even starting at 6:00 am, it took us an hour to go 15 miles to the Alaska Terminal.

Our Alaska Airlines plane waiting for us at the gate.

Thanks for coming along on Part 1 of our Snowbird RV Adventure. After spending Christmas with our good friend Jeanne in Bellingham we'll head home to our float cabin on Powell Lake.


Wayne and I invite you to come back in early February and ride along with us to Arizona in Part 2. -- Wayne and Margy

  1. LAX is not a place where any sane person wants to spend time! All the best for the holidays and 2020.

    1. So true, especially this week. We were lucky to fly out the week before Christmas and use an Uber to get there. I don't think I could drive around there any more. - Margy
