We are on our way!

Probably going to catch a Greyhound. The timetable journey times look better than Google Maps time estimates. Just got to work out what location near LAX now to catch it from.

Sounds like I'm using the same company. I still have to work out how to get from LAX to Port Hueneme. I found a series of bus connections, but haven't had much luck determining if it is possible to get there by train yet.

How much stuff are you bringing on the plane? I could pick you up, fly you out of Santa Monica to Camarillo. We live in Port Hueneme / Channel Islands.

Bring Ron a quality bottle of booze from your neck of the woods and I bet he will offer to give you a lift. :D

Vince.. I think I could convince Ron to take a hop down to LAX. I wonder if he has ever/can fly to the big ol' LAX. :D

I can, but the thought of holding short of Runway 25 in between 747's, 22nd in line for takeoff makes me pause. I can hear some of the chatter on the Ground Freq now...

United Heavy 121, stop spooling up your engines, that little bird behind you is not cleared for takeoff on the taxiway.. Cessna 750, taxi runway 25, caution, wake turbulence, you might want to tie down at the hold short line... :D

It's a long journey 2.5 to 4 hours drive each way depending on traffic, that's too much to ask as a favour. I'm happy to go by bus.

I have to do the journey twice on consecutive days as I need to collect my XJ and my wife's TJ from the port. She was intending to drive hers from the port but our ship was delayed 2-days and my wife just can't be there. I have to collect the Jeeps on my own or get them trailered. The bus is the cheapest option.

Na. Unless you take the un-senic route around the valley, I can make LAX from here driving in an hour and a half. It's really not that far.

If your rigs are coming in at different times, or it's a problem picking both up at once, we can pick them up for you if you have an agent to the paperwork and release them to me. No problem storing them for a few days at my shop. Send me a PM, and we'll get you taken care of.

Nope ;)

The best way to go (time wise) is also the best looking way. Peak traffic time it might take an hour, maybe an hour and a half tops.

Depending on the time and date I may be able to play shuttle boy too.

If you do, I'll expect to see a signed pass from Holly.

And don't even think about forging one, I'll check.

Yeah and Vince "BETTER" not rely on him to get to the airport on time.

Ask Clint how well that worked out for him. :D

It's OK, I have a rental car now. Made more sense as I have a lot to get done while I am over. Probably see you at the Meet & Greet on the 29th.

Now theres some impressive NAXJA hospitality right there! :worship:

:cheers: to ya Ron
 
I will be there too, but without my XJ. This one has to stay in Austria. But thanks to Geoff I have a choice of three to use there.

So as I see there are some more who travel a long way to get to the event :rof:

So see you all there
