Our last day we did "A Day in LA" mini bus tour. This was a great way to see the sites with great commentary without driving through the insane traffic. All the way from Santa Monica beach to Griffith Observatory. At the end of the day we returned to the hotel to pick up our bags, got changed and took their shuttle
to the airport.
