I Took a Taxi from L.A. to Venus in 1985

I need to find myself something to do to keep myself occupied and off of the demonic Kayak website. The website seduces me into making travel plans! It is a foul temptress! In addition to my aforementioned Montreal plans, I am also going to Los Angeles this summer to visit a friend. I have been to San Francisco and San Diego before, but never to L.A. It will be nice to visit the city I have heard so much about (on Perez Hilton, mostly). I also made plans to go to Egypt in February of next year (yes, I know that is ten months away), and I'm toying with the possibility of going to Dubai while I'm there. Rooms at the Burj al-Arab in Dubai run about $2400 per night, so I should probably get two.
