There’s an in-n-out burger within walking distance of the airport... Not sure what to do with your other 8 hours.

I second SC1’s beach idea, however after 5pm (sunset) is a different matter. Can’t think of anything in that timeframe which is not food/alcohol related, maybe head to LACMA where they have some cool art works on display (lights and such), if that’s your thing

Westchester Golf Club is next to the airport, you can play 18 with rental clubs in 4 hours including an uber back and forth - they have lights so you can play after sunset

This all depends on day and time. You could spend 3.5 hours round trip if you’re wanting to go to Hollywood. Plan well

3pm to 11pm

Either check your bag or find a hotel to check it. You’re not going to want to deal with it are you?

P1 - I will politely pass, but good luck to you

If you have friends in the area hit them up to take you out for the day. I was a similar situation and just chilled w my cousins driving all around LA. He took me to spots that were off the beaten path and we had a great time.

Regardless, I’d second the checked bag thing. It’d be a PIA to deal w anything other than a backpack all day

You did an interview and your interviewer apologized that the travel time 180minutes was much higher than 30minutes scheduled time for the interview and that It could have been done remotely, but she has to follow the process. I am still waiting for feedback though.

Is this just a humane demonstration?
