They stepped of the airplane at 11:34 am at Los Angeles International Airport. Dawn and her Mother were at Gate 45 waiting for them.
When MaryAnne spotted them she ran up to them and shouted, "Oh, I missed you guys so much! How have you been?"
"We've been fine. Dawn's birthday just passed and she's been overly excited. She just turned six-teen and she is so eager to do everything." Dawn's Mother exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah. We'll give you your presents at the Hotel. They're in our suitcases." MaryAnne said.
"Oh no! I think I forgot your present Dawn! I am so sorry!" Claudia rubbed her eyes and growled.
"That's okay, Claudia. I didn't need a present. It was already a present that I was going to see the Baby-Sitter's Club after a year. I missed you all so much!" Dawn grinned.
"Well, happy birthday anyway." Claudia smiled.
"Thanks." Dawn smiled back.
They all walked to the parking lot to get on a bus to the hotel.
"This vacation is gonna be so neat. I don't think I ever wan to go home!" Stacey said.
"Me neither." Kristy chuckled.
"Okay. We need to get off the bus at Overhill Dr. Oh, look out the window. There's Beverly Hills!" Dawn said.
"Cool! There's the Holiday Inn!" Kristy said.
"We won't be staying at that one, though." Dawn's Mother said.
In each room there were two queen size beds. They booked three rooms. MaryAnne and Kristy stayed in one. Dawn and her Mother stayed in another, and Claudia and Stacey stayed in the last one.
