bob.dino 1 #1 July 14, 2005 Rightyo, I'm off to Perris for a few days skydiving at the start of August (Sat 30 - Tue 2, fact fans). I've got Wednesday free, then I need to be at LAX at 8am on Thursday 4th. Where should I stay on the Wednesday night? I won't have access to a car. Oh, and what should I do during the Wednesday day-time? Thanks folks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchy68 0 #2 July 14, 2005 We can definitely hook up for drinks on Wednesday evening. I may be able to find you a place in which to crash for the night near LAX.

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #3 July 14, 2005 I'll probably join you two, as well! If Spencer is back by that weekend, then that Wednesday in August may be the last time that I hang out with friends for a while. That reminds me, what are we doing tomorrow night, Nick? We have plans, don't we? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd really like to, but it does depend on just how knackered I am after three days of tunnel and jumping... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites WatchYourStep 0 #13 July 14, 2005 I went to www.hotwire.com and limited my search to LAX area. I choose the 4 star hotel for $86. Hotwire doesn't tell you the hotel name or exact address, just the price and rating. It ended up being the Sheraton at the airport. I called them up to book a room and the night I needed they quoted me a price that was $40 higher than hotwire was.

Both are nice and have shuttles to the airport, free breakfast in the morning (Made to order omelettes and such not doughnuts), and FREE BOOZE for a couple hours each night. IIRC...........they are around $150 but if you drink yourself stupid, eat a BIG breakfast the next day, then ride the shuttle to the airport you're getting your money's worth! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bob.dino 1 #16 July 14, 2005 Thanks for the tip, but given the costs involved in the rest of this trip, methinks LA accomodation will be in the "as cheap as humanly possible without having my rig nicked" price bracket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites VanillaSkyGirl 6 #17 July 22, 2005 Hey Dave, I just found out a couple of days ago that my Spencer will be back in L.A. early...on that Wednesday that we had planned to meet. I think that he wants to be alone with me that night (go figure), however, I can definitely see you before that night. Are you attending a camp in Perris, or are you going to be at Perris to jump and tunnel at your convenience? I could always come out to Perris for a tunnel session and meet up with you on the weekend that you are here. Also, if you are done at a reasonable hour on Tuesday, we could meet in L.A. on Tuesday night, instead of getting together on Wednesday evening. Please let me know your schedule.
