- Collect baggage, collect the Budget rental and drive to the [Brand Plaza Hotel](../bookings/stays/brand-plaza-hotel-glendale.md) in Glendale - **18:08 PDT** Arrive at LAX; with no checked baggage, go directly to the Budget shuttle
- Late dinner and rest; no sightseeing scheduled after the flight - **18:45–19:30 PDT target** Collect the Budget rental. Put any belongings out of sight in the trunk before leaving the rental facility
- Confirm off-site parking and the parking fee with the hotel before arrival - If leaving Budget by **19:30 PDT**, drive directly to the Glendale Galleria garage; Friday-evening traffic makes the arrival time variable
- **~20:15–20:55 PDT target** Shop for shoes at **JD Sports, Glendale Galleria**, Level 1 near Target. The store closes at **21:00 PDT**. If she is not out of Budget by **19:40 PDT**, shopping becomes unreliable and should be skipped
- **After shopping** Drive to the [Brand Plaza Hotel](../bookings/stays/brand-plaza-hotel-glendale.md), check in, leave belongings, and confirm the off-site parking location and fee
- **~21:15 PDT dinner:** primary choice **Raffi's Place** for Persian grills, open Friday until **22:00 PDT**; order ahead if possible. **Din Tai Fung** in the Galleria is open until **22:00 PDT** but currently advertises a 60–90 minute wait, so use it only if she joins the waitlist before shopping and the timing works. **Shake Shack** on Brand is the reliable late fallback, open Friday until **03:00 PDT**
