The California Road Trip - Beverly Hills!

Beverly Hills, Baby!

A trip to Beverly Hills is an adventure. For those who want to see, smell and feel the "good life" take a stroll around the Regent Beverly Hills Wilshire Hotel meets the Rodeo Drive Area. You'll see expensive cars pull-up,and zoom by like you've never seen them before.

The Regent Beverly Hills Wilshire Hotel (on Wilshire Drive)was the scene of the hit 1980's movie, "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It still retains that quiet elegance and chic that put Vivian (Robert's title role) into a nervous frenzy.

However, intimidating the hotel maybe to out-of-towners the staff could not have been more pleasant and patient. We had one of the best lunches (if not the best lunch) at the outside terrace of the hotel as we leisurely ate while people watching.

Breezy had the pea soup and the caterpillar of sushi and I ate the carpaccio and the 'to-die-for' cheese plate. Gusty, the fish and with the creamiest most buttery mashed potatoes ever created.

While people watching we managed to catch a glimpse of Scott Disick (Kourtney's baby's daddy) from the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality show who was looking very, well, slick and dapper. As if he went through the fine-grit polish of the rock tumbler maybe one extra turn. Nevertheless, it was exciting spotting a celebrity-type in Beverly Hills. Isn't that what every tourist hopes for after all?
