We awoke lazily (again!) this morning, in our very comfortable beds of Monte Carlo. This was the morning where the husband took some time-out for himself at the tables, and despite wanting to hit the gym, I resorted to a tiny attempt to yoga. After dressing up, we headed off to check out - I know, already?! - and before bidding goodbye to Neveda, we hit the Shake Shack for the legendary burger. Not before we lugged all our luggage from room to vehicle after checking out - we were getting a hang of moving homes.

| Shake Shack |
Our experience at Shake Shack was pleasant, but perhaps it was the hype and build-up of what it was all about; perhaps it was that I couldn't really stomach a burger this morning after having eaten a cow not too long ago, but I thought the burger was salty and though I could appreciate the fresh mushrooms, it wasn't as kickass an experience as I had imagined. The chocolate shake that I indulged in was pretty sinful and worth the while, though. Perhaps, I just need to go to NYC to taste the real deal?
After filling our tummies, we headed back to our vehicle and once again, fit into the routine of settling into the car and hitting the road. The plan for this day was to drive from Neveda and head back to Las Angeles where we first landed on the grounds of US of A. The drive took us several hours - like, 5? - and it felt so familiar being cooped up in the seat, watching the grand mountains as a backdrop pass us by. I cannot recall what we did for lunch, but perhaps it was - again! - a quick fast-food stopover of Maccas.

Upon arriving at LA, we headed to Citadel malls. It was our last chance to get last-minute shopping done. After a short while there, the husband yelped and located a place where we could have lobster. It was also somewhere enroute to our hotel for the night; our last night in USA.

After a very salty and filling dinner, with the dessert of a rich chocolate cake; we headed to our hotel. I didn't take pics of our room, but it was full of things on the ground as the husband and I emptied our car of everything to pack to get ready for our flight home the next day. We spent the night packing and packing and packing... and packing.

| Last chance for tub play |
I recall that after the kids had fallen asleep, the husband and I were up, talking about the holiday, our upcoming flight and discussing what time it would be when we arrived in Singapore. Prompted by a message from the sister, who jolted us to realise that - oop, we were going to arrive a day later than expected because we'd not taken into account the time zone difference. So the husband realised that he'd be touching down and having to go to work within 5 hours, or something like that. Ah well, at least we'd already had 16 days of holiday?
That night, I slept - all 4 of us squeezed on one bed, in foreign land. It was our last night, in LA.
