There's a bunch of places on Hollywood bvld such as Kodak Theatre, Walk of fame, Guinness record, Wax museum, etc. To visit these places, is 1 day enough? How is parking? And are the attractions in that block close enough that I dont need to drive a car within hollywood?

1 day should be plenty for this area. Parking may be difficult. What we did was drive down to the end of the strip and found more parking towards the end of the strip (towards DSW Shoe store) Parking was free when we went on Sunday and it worked out perfectly because we could walk from one end to the other.

And No, you don't need to drive to the different attractions.

btw, if you want to save admission to the wax museum ($26 i think). We walked into the wax museum gift shop to look around and found out that it leads into the wax museum itself. So we essentially walked backwards through the museum for free. lol it was pretty funny.

For Long Beach - are the aquariums and ship tours/cruises worth the trip?
we were looking at these when we were there, i think it's better just to chill out on the beach and go swimming. unless you're into those sorts of things. there are tonnes of things to do there. i'd pass on the above.

Is 6 flags all about big scary rollercoaster rides? (I cant even do the tamed ones at PNE).

6 Flags is the BEST theme park i've ever been to. If you cannot handle the wooden roller coaster at the PNE DO NOT even think about going to six flags... unless you just want to look around? mind you, 6 flags isn't like disney land. there is less to see. But if you love the rides 6 Flags is the best.

Six flags, long beach, hollywood are 3 main clusters of area we are visiting. Is 5 days enough and should I do hotels/motels 'as we go' or 1 hotel for 4 nights?
^ 5 days should be fine. but if you get a hotel PLEASE use priceline/hotwire and name your price. you will save so much money!!! I can help you out with the above if you need it.

Any driving laws in Cali that is different from BC? (ie. headlights, cellphones, etc)

Me and a friend are going in mid Jan. Pretty stoked. But the traffic is gonna scare the hell out of me. Hope I will find some GPS deals during boxing week.

GPS saved our lives... Make sure you update it before you go though.. otherwise shit gets funny.

Bolded are my responses...
