Thank you, I'll get DH to check them out. We need a BIG car.
AustralianKaren - I'll get DH to check out your reccos too (I get the MouseSavers email too, so I need to start scouring the site), we need to do a huge price comparrison. No way we'd last a block in your wee red bean, the kids would be able to reach the front seats and I'd be able to accidently elbow DH in the eye (only while stationary mind). Last time he went to the States he rented some convertible contraption but that's not a goer for a family. I'll also need to hire boosters too I guess as DH is refusing to carry them across the Pacific Ocean to save some dollars (I did point out they travel free but he's not going for it).
Can I ask a naive question - why do people book dining out? We want to eat a lot of ethnic food while in SoCal, so thought we'd just wing it. Plus we have the world's fussiest child (he went thru a stage of only eating yellow food) and dining can be a battle every night, so we thought we'd go Mexican for three of us (his twin's okay) and he could have tortillas and cheese or something. Am I missing something with all this prebooked dining?
