Thank you, guys!
We talked to our Italian friends. We'll meet them in LA, and then take off quickly to PS (before Noon). They are spending the night there with us, and may even join us for the meet. It should all work out, I hope.
I hope you guys don't mind two "uninvited guests." They are great, fun people. They don't speak any English, but they are wonderful... and they're also wondering why we're flying all the way to CA for a car club meet.
Again, thanks!
Juan
