Embarkation

3 out of 5
Two of the excurisions were not good. AThe trip to the Getty and Hollywood was awful. Long bus ride, very, very little time to spend at either place. waste of time. Santa Barbara was also very disapointing. The tour around the island was terrible. We new we would not see the "stars houses", but we literaly saw nothing but hedges on the whole ride. Saw nothing, no scenery, just hedges. One time the tour guide pointed to a house we could not see --belonging to a mover star and said it was "somewhere over there". The rest stop half way through the tour had almost all the stores closed.
