We have decided to center the 1st part of our vaca, in LA/Venice Beach, and the second half, we are spending at my friend's uncle's house in Yuma dunebuggying! Any LA advice? Where to go and where to stay away from? i want to avoid lame touristy things, but Universal Studios does look fun, and my friend has a friend who works there, as well as a few local friends who can act as tourguides.
