There ARE direct flights from Clt. to LA, though. No biggie. So, we will be flying into LA early Friday morning. Now, here are my questions: (And yes, I know some have been asked before -- sorry; and yes, I know some of these are dumb -- sorry again.)
- Aside from the obvious Rodeo Drive (which my wife wants to see, not me), what else should I visit in LA? Laguna Beach in there, too, right?
- How bad of a drive is it from LA to Palm Springs? I hear horror stories about CA traffic, so I'm just wondering. I want to be in PS for the "festivities" on Friday night.
- Any other recommendations/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

- Laguna Beach is not in LA, it's in Southern Orange County, about 50 miles away or so.
- The traffic will depend on when you plan on making the trek from LA to PS. If your plan is anytime around 2:00pm or after on Friday afternoon, then you are screwed. You see, tons of people live in Riverside County where property is cheaper and they commute to Orange County and LA County. All of the people go back to Riverside County during rush hour. It sucks bad, really bad. If you are leaving LA to head to PS, you need to leave by noon at the latest. My recommendation would be that you skip LA and fly to Ontario (ONT) and drive straight to PS.
Call me on my cell if you need to discuss further.
