Being silly at the La Brea Tar Pits! @ La Brea Tar Pits http://t.co/iZLaao4v

Somehow only one kid managed to get tar on himself, and it was the oldest one. @ La Brea Tar Pits http://t.co/XZFW89X3

We heard this place had good burgers. (@ Five Guys) http://t.co/d6sC634v

---

I just unlocked the “Flame Broiled” badge on @foursquare for checking in to burger joints! Cheeseburgers all around! http://t.co/78xqLyY1

---

Five Guys and then Menchies. I feel a stomachache coming on…

---

@drkknits Haha. I usually never turn it off!

---

@drkknits Ah, yeah. My lappy is quite old and the battery doesn’t hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

---

@drkknits Nope. I expected my luggage to go missing and Christmas to be ruined, but it wasn’t.

---

The Carbos take their gingerbread houses very seriously. http://t.co/3PW1tE2F

---

@drkknits Maybe their schedule is messed up for Christmas…

---

@drkknits Nice!!

---

I told you I’m not the best cookie maker in the family. http://t.co/F6p2SijO

---

@drkknits Yes. Just settling in now. Snooky had a brief nap earlier, but I haven’t slept since plane (and that was crap).

---

@drkknits I have a theory that oven runs hot. It definitely has a hotspot at back right corner.

---

@twelveeyes @drkknits I wasn’t aware of this either, and it’s my oven!

---

@LeeanneField Waves exhausted from my sister’s house in LA…

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes Wait, what? You can set a temp. The fan is fan-forced. Then turn the 3rd knob to change temp!

---

@web_goddess @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes When it’s on grill, it shows percentages. When it’s on normal use, it shows temps.

---

@web_goddess @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes This is the manual, if that helps. http://t.co/aK809QjX

Buster (the dog, not the horse) has barely left Rodd’s side since we got here. #buddies http://t.co/rxABtOAG

Penn is really good at Angry Birds. These kids! http://t.co/6cPak37V

---

@drkknits Awww! It just takes him a while. 🙂

Final pitstop. Lunch with Dr K on our way to the airport! (@ Bourke Street Bakery) [pic]: http://t.co/BI9wQDtV

---

Massive thanks to @drkknits for playing taxi driver and cat sitter!

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Like it or not, the right to bear arms is in the Constitution. And you don’t change that doc with a simple 50% vote

---

Security confiscated my toothpaste! See @drkknits? I *told* you something would go wrong.

---

He really is a awfully good sport. @ Sydney International Airport Departures http://t.co/fBewrrrl

---

@drkknits It was too big. EVERYTHING’S RUINED! 😛

---

We found a bar serving large beers and showing the cricket. Life is good. Only 90 minutes to kill… http://t.co/ttDLjsNd

---

@Alacaeriel @witty_knitter @drkknits There’s a *lot* of room for interpretation. Personally I think they should be banned. But it’s not easy

---

@ryleedanielle Sorry, I’m just about to fly overseas for a few weeks. You’re best to ask your questions to someone else!

---

@NickDeverell Merry Christmas to you too! Tell Carrot we’ll see him when we get we back. 🙂

---

Boarding soon, so I’m going dark. Goodbye Sydney, and we’ll see you in 2013!

---

USA – we are in you! LA is rainy and cold. We’re tired. http://t.co/UgeMCpx1

---

@drkknits @NessNomster He’s a poop. Give him a pat for us! 🙂

---

@ryleedanielle Sure. What do you need to know?

---

This is it! Leaving for US in eight hours. Flying via New Zealand, so I’m excited to look for hobbitses.

---

@3rd_Gen_ Just via-ing, unfortunately. Must get there for a proper visit sometime!

---

@stufromoz Only about an hour. Just passing through

---

@justjussi @witty_knitter Air NZ via Auckland. Only an hour’s layover, unfortunately. Need to go back for a proper visit sometime!
