I was born in San Pedro, California. My Dad was in the Army and that is where he was stationed. It was 1954. I lived there for a year. My parents loved California but moved back to New York after the Army. We almost moved back to California, but my Dad would have to move his business and four school age children. So my parents decided to stay in New York. My parents showed me photos and home movies of California. I always had a love and longing to be there. I finally got to visit on my honeymoon with my ex-husband 38 years ago. We stayed at the Beverly Wilshire hotel which was so beautiful. I remember walking on Rodeo Drive and I couldn’t believe that I was visiting the place where I was born.
It was 38 years after my honeymoon that I got to go back to California. I was fortunate to be able to go with my boyfriend. When the plane landed and I saw the sign “Welcome to Los Angeles” I couldn’t be more excited. One of the places that we visited was the Iconic Beverly Hills Hotel. We had lunch by the pool and walked around the grounds. It is a beautiful hotel with so much Hollywood history. On the walls there were photos of the story of the hotel. So interesting! I took pics of the photos and would love to share them with you. I hope that you enjoy reading them!

Love the bungalows and the stars from Hollywood that stayed there. Elyse, you always had that California state of mind!
Maxine, if only the walls could talk! What stories they would tell! Such a pretty hotel with much history!
