Of course the Harley has to make the trip on the trailer. ;)

I hope you have oodles of fun. Road trips can be a real hoot with the right people. Even wives, if they aint naggy.

I just need some tips as to what part of the city to stay in. SOmeplace safe, but close to the sights.

What sights? L.A. is a huge area, incomprehensibly large compared to most cities. There is basically a continuous urban zone from south Malibu to Camp Pendleton, all of which is considered "L.A." to some extent. (The Orange County residents will dispute this, but for metro areas, it's generally true).

What did you plan on seeing in LA, I might be able to give you some ideas where to stay.

OH!! Just remembered. If you are in the San Diego/LA area May 6th or 7th, Celtic Woman is touring here.

Hehehehehe! I feel bad about trailering the bike, but it's the only way we'd be able to take it. April in the Rockies can be very unpredictable, weather-wise. Plus we have to get from Calgary to LV in 2 days, which will involve almost 24 hours behind the wheel. So...the bike gets hauled down. Oh well, at least it will be there when we want to enjoy it.

As for the fun of road trips...that's one of the things my wife loves the best about me. She loves to do road trips, and I'd much rather drive than fly anywhere. Not that we don't like to fly, but you get to see more and experience more if you drive.

Sigh...we have to be back home no later than the 4th, so we'll miss that show.

As for what we'd like to see...mainly the usual "touristy" type stuff. Rodeo Drive, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Griffin (sp?) Park, some of the beaches, etc. We'll only have a day or so top spend there, so we can't do too much. As our budget is tight we'll most likely be staying at Motel 6's and such. Nothing too spendy.

Hey Al,

So your going to hit San Francisco on Sunday April 30th? Love to hook up with you, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to make it to the city that day. Depends if I go to the Sacramento Highland games in Woodland that weekend. Please keep us informed of your travel plans.

Best regards,

Jake

Sacramento Highland Games?? Do you have a link to the games? We may change our plans a bit and try to attend them if possible.
