I empathize. I've gotten the partial insurance reimbursement on my towing, but I'm behind as well. I planned by buy air tix this week, but have had to push back 2 weeks.

I'll by my Con tix this week, and air (hopefully) the week after.

It's official: I bought my plane ticket yesterday!

I mailed in my con ticket pre-order thingy yesterday!! Now all I have to do is figure out how to make sure my hotel reservation is set and all is good from this end.

Yaaay, I'm sooo excited!! Wheee~

The only ticket I still have to purchase is for my flight home.

Now all I need is a cane and Caliente holding my arm all the time and people will think I am a sugar daddy.

Aw, Quis. You know just a way to a girl's heart.

I con fee is also in the mail. I'm anticipating leaving my job by July (probably before), so time isn't an issue.

Now I'm debating whether to fly, take the train, or even rent a car for a road trip!

Anybody else up for a cross-country drive?

hey y'all, if you haven't pre-registered for con yet, looks like prices for the 4 day passes go up from $50 to $55 after April 19th...

All-
I've got my plane ticket for Vegas.

I haven't booked the hotel yet, but I'm assuming at this point those of us SD-bound will stick around til Wednesday morning?

I'll probably book a room with two beds, in case anyone wants to share a room; prices seem the same for 1 or 2.

The more I think on it, trying to do LA as an overnight seems unwieldy, but I'd be willing to meet some of our LA flock after the con. I'm going to wander out west a bit since I'll have time to. As presumably fellow road buddies, what do Abin CJ and Legion-John think?

I'll be flying out on Monday, at this point from SD but as I haven't booked yet I'm still open to suggestions...

PS: Klean out yer Mailbox, Kent!

Well Kent, I got a double room for Sun to Wed at the Stratosphere. Scott and Caroline are staying there I think. It's affordable, a good local. You're welcome to crash there.

My plan is to enjoy Vegas for a few days, then likely drive to SD on Wed. Abin, what're you planning?

Sounds like a plan, CJ. Count me as a roomie!

Abin, looks like most of us are at the Stratosphere.

PS - will do.

My Plans are similar although I'll probably fly in on Saturday. And yes I plan on booking at the Stratosphere also.

When are Scott and Caroline arriving?

And when will we have a body count so I can arrange the mini-van rental? So far with three of us driving to SD it should be fairly comfy in a mini, but if we get up to five or six a full sise van would be better. Luggage takes up space and I plan on bringing some extra computer gear so we can post/scan/fax/whatever and really get on a few nerves while we play...

Caroline and I will be in LV Sunday morning. Our reservations are for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, checking out Wednesday morning since I have to be home that evening.

Abin-

those of us making the SD trip will be you, me, CJ and Legion-John, based upon responses thus far... and it sounds like CJ's bringing his car (?).

If so, we may not need a van at all (for the LV-SD part, at least), but maybe a car.

I'm also arriving Saturday.

Actually Kent, I was planning to fly to Vegas, then rent a car to drive to SD. If you guys got room for another rider, I can fit in the average glove box.

Abin was already plotting and scheming a van or minivan for the duration (LV, SD and between), for which he said he'd will accept our gas donations.

If Abin winds up opting to fly in Sunday instead of Saturday, I'll probably grab a rental on Saturday... the three-day rental rates are dirt cheap, and that would give us a third set of wheels (along with Proty) for around Vegas, which I'd return Tuesday night.

For 4 people a standard mini-van will do perfectly. I'll have everyting arranged by the end of this month but as previously stated I plan to fly into Vegas on Saturday, rent a Mini-van which will be returned in San Diego, drive to SD on Wednesday, Thursday to Sunday attend the Con and other "Cultural Events," (Which probably includes a day trip to Tijuana) Party with as many LWers as we can round up (Note: we need to get 14 together to break the Boston Record) and fly back on Monday.

I just might need a vacation from my vacation...

Okay, I'm all booked and confirmed.

Well like i said i've got my hotel room already booked and i've just sent off my pre-paid ticket from for the con. in a few weeks i should have the dough for my plane tickets i plan on flying into Vegas on Monday so let me know what everyone that's going is gonna do.

John-

I found a killer deal from LaGuardia to Vegas for $150 (1-way) on ATA/Southwest. Hopefully there's still similar deals when you're ready to buy.

For those going to San Diego. It has been suggested that we not go to all the days of the convention, but do some other things around the city. I am up for that, but have no idea what to do. Any suggestions and suggestions as for what day(s) to not go to the con? I probably want to see what panels are when before deciding which day(s). But I am thinking Sunday as a non-convention day. Although my flight leaves at 6:46 pm that day.

there's the San Diego Zoo, Old Town, Sea World, the beach, several museums and historic sites right in town.

Right downtown, there's the historic gaslamp quarter an impressive outdoor-mall, a seaside shopping village, among other stuff.

Tijuana's an easy trolley ride away; Oceanside's a nice 40-minute train ride up the coast.

Out in the surrounding county, there's a drive-thru wild animal park, Mount Palomar observatory, and some scenic high-desert areas.

that's off the top of my head.

Sunday might be the best bet as the con shuts down a little bit early and a lot of the programming that day will be geared towards children.

But, you never know. And I'm not sure when the schedule will be posted.

Sorry, guys I have to pass on the trip. A rather large auto repair bill has eaten at my funds this week. I'm going to try and pawn my first printing of ION #1, maybe that will help me with the recovery.

You Vegas folks, put $2 on red 15 for me. You San Diegoers, say hi to Gary.
