I’ll be there. I’m flying into LAX on Saturday morning, so I’ve got until Monday morning until I have to be at my company’s San Diego location. Looking forward to it. Oh, slight hijack: Has anyone ever done a LA/Longbeach harbor cruise tour? I’m thinking about doing one so I can (hopefully) get some decent and reasonably close pictures of the Angel’s Gate light and the Longbeach light. Edit to add: In the interest of being green and all, I can transport some folks if anyone else needs a ride (since I’ll have a rental to myself and all). ---

Are you ok leaving your car at a Park and Ride? I know there’s one on Bear Valley, not sure if there’s one on Main; or maybe the parking lot of any of the restaurants there on Main @ I-15. 12:30pm? ---
