wow...!

Thanks, guys. I guess this means, we will have to leave LA early!

Thanks so much for the advice.

Juan,

I agree with SG and x5guy. It's amazing how different the drive is depending on time.

As SG said, if you can fly into Ontario (ONT) you'll save quite a bit of time. If you cannot, try Burbank Airport. I would try to avoid LAX. It's a huge headache and the drive from there through LA itself could be a nightmare. Ontario is about an hour plus a little to Palm Springs. Burbank is about an hour forty.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll PM you my cellphone number.

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

Molto bene! Should I add "+2" to your RSVP then?

That's great Juan, what a good idea. The more, the merrier. Are you going bring your pink pants? I'd love to see those in person

Mr Salmon Pants:

If your friends are meeting you on the west side of LA (as opposed to Inland Empire of The Valley) then you can take in a whole lot very quickly.

A few minutes north of LAX is Marina del Rey and Venice. In the morning, the people watching at Rose Cafe can be great. After a coffee you can check out the Third Street Promenade or the upscale area of Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, passing by the Santa Monica pier on the way.
All this works because you will be within a few blocks' of Interstate 10 and on your way by 11:30am while having avoided the slog on the 405 to catch I-10.
