LAX

I am anxiously awaiting my flight to Sydney.  First I have to get through a 11.5 hour layover in LAX, yikes!  If anyone else has flown from the international terminal at LAX, you feel my pain.  I do not mean to complain, but they really need to add more stores, restaurants, or something to make this more bearable.
At one point, I ventured out of the international terminal to try and see a little bit of LA.  My trip, however, was cut short by a person cussing and throwing things at the people waiting for buses.  I believe he was waiting for the bus I was about to board.  That is when I decided maybe I should go back to the airport.  Call me a wuss but I took people's advice about listening to my gut, and my gut said, maybe next time. 
After debating for a while, I gave in and decided to try the reLAX Lounge in the airport.  I didn't know if it was worth payng for sanity and some peace, but it really is.  For $25 I get three hours of free internet, snacks, drinks and a place to rest.  I will post pictures soon.  I should have done this earlier and I definitely recommend this place if you have a long layover in LAX!
I can't wait, Sydney, here I come!
