Narrative:

Clearance to hold at glaco was misunderstood. We entered a holding pattern not as instructed by ATC. I believe it was caused by incomplete clearance from ZLA -- my inexperience on the aircraft as well as the first officer. Also glaco was not on our route or planned arrival. Fatigue was also a factor due to the time of day.
