Hi guys,

Yes, I did finally make it to LA without too much hassle in the end

Also hired a car with the Alamo code without any problems at all, and drove all over between LA and San Diego Interestingly the receipt from this rental listed the rate code as UK to USA Travel Industry, or something similar to that affect.

I was planning on posting my success here earlier, but haven't had a chance these last couple of weeks to do anything other than work and sleep.

Thanks again for all your help guys With a bit of luck I'm hoping to make it back to the states in the next couple of months.
