Well, Heels, if I can get the money saved up, I would like to go in December (saves me on packing...just pack pants and long sleeve shirts....instead of both long sleeve and short sleeve shirts when I went in March, because I had no idea what the weather was like out there having never been outside the southeast US in my life
).
I've been talking with Armadillo about it too (I promised him that he gets 1st dibs when I plan another carpool-like trip where we'd split room/shuttle costs equally -- because he was such a cool friend to be with back in March). We're talking about a trip to Vegas before going to LA.
The way I got things planned is that me and whoever else wants to tag along for leg 1 would meet up in Vegas, and get a shuttle (or taxi -- some say that's cheaper) to our hopefully-be-a hotel/casino. We'd gamble there, leave the next morning, board a morning flight to LA and get there and to the hotel around or maybe about an hour after check in time.
Heels, I know you're not 21, so, unless you can find something to occupy your time, you wouldn't have much fun on that part.
Seriously....if someone can't join for the Vegas leg for any reason but can join me and whoever else goes with me to Vegas for the LA leg of the trip, I'd love to have ya.
This is kinda an open call for anyone who wants to join in to share a room and shuttle and split the costs equally (like Armadillo and I did back in March, where we got 1 room (with 2 beds) and split the shuttle and room costs 50/50). I do have a few requirements, though, if ya wanna tag along....you gotta be well known around here (or other well known game show sites), I gotta be able to trust ya, and ya gotta be a good person (no trouble makers, membership(s) be in good standing, etc.).
Now....if I'm unable to go in December, as I said previously, March '08 is another target time...although I could have a change of heart and go earlier or later. I'm just trying to avoid peak times for Vegas (and try to for LA).
