Happy New Year everyone. We leave on Friday for a week in southern CA including a few days on DL. I am considering it our scouting trip for the big one in July.

Hey all!

I won't be going on the ABD trip, but hope to meet up with you all when you come out to LA. I know some of you already, and am looking forward to meeting the rest of you.

Since I'm a local and live just 15 minutes from LAX, I'm happy to answer any questions, and hopefully we can get together before you all go off on your fab tour (or afterwards).

Cant wait to meet everyone!

Wow thats cool - we are well under 200 days from when we leave as we have 2 weeks in CA first

Is it time to pack yet?

 

[*NikkiBell*]

Time is going to fly by now (I hope)!

Time is going to fly by now (I hope)!

I'm sure it will fly by at light speed! Gotta get the finances in order before the trip though, so I guess I can wait a little longer...

Hi Folks,

We have had a change in our participant list.

A couple of our folks had to change their plans, but we are excited to Welcome Jen (NejTheLion), Barry and Debbi to our Adventure.

Welcome Aboard!!!!!!

 

[NejTheLion]

Woohoo!! We're sorry to hear that some other guests had to cancel, but we're super excited to be going. We've been trying to make one of these trips work ever since the first one was announced, but for one reason or another, we could never make it fit our schedules. And then I was a couple days late hearing about these 2011 trips and just missed getting on this July trip from the start. February and April aren't options because I won't have enough leave to take a week off of work until May.

It's going to be an awesome week-late birthday present (mine is July 21)

Welcome aboard! I'm sorry about those who had to change their plans...I know that would be really tough. Glad you're finally going to get to join the trip! Welcome to you and to Barry and Debbi!

NejTheLion...my wonderful daughter...finally got me on the DisBoards! We are so excited to be going on our 1st ABD trip w/other DISers. July can't get here soon enough.

I posted this on the London/Paris thread, but since we will all have bag allowances I thought this might be good for all of us.

If ya'll are perplexed as I am about finding the right travel bag to take to Europe, Travel Pro has their rolling duffels on sale in the outlet store. TravelPro is what Pete uses and he has talked about them on the show. I have been a die-hard Eagle Creek Bag user, But I think we may pick up two of these.

Welcome to our group - pleased to have you with us!

Its a shame the others had to cancel but great for you guys


I've been really busy putting together the details for the rest of trip. In the last week, we have nailed down a day-by-day itinerary, booked a rental car, accommodation and a flight back from SFO to LAX - phew!

I'm sure I'm forgetting something but at least we have somewhere to stay each night and ways to get around the state
