Lashbear's USA Trip Update
 

Well, we have another piece of the puzzle nailed down.

The trip now looks like this:

March 15 & 16 - Still thinking... most likely a LA stopover to break the journey to...

March 17 - 24 Orlando 1 week park hopping them on to...

March 24 - April 7 Anaheim - with a 14 Day Park-hopper.

April 8 - 14 San Diego - Mission Beach Giant Dipper here we come...

April 15 - 29 April - San Francisco (still in negotiation - accommodation willing....)

So we're getting rather excited with only 115 days to go !!!!! :cheers: :snap: :cool:

I sent you a PM.

Too cool, Lash- we'll finally get to meet in person!:cheers:

Mission Beach's Giant Dipper is more fun than a 6 car freeway pileup...

Lemme know if you head to Sea World, too - it's another place I've got some good friends ;)

Why stopover in LA when you could visit cloudy and rainy Seattle, which also has direct flights to Orlando?

14-day Park-Hopper?!? Isn't that called an Annual Pass?

SShhhh.. it's a pass available only to Aussies. I could tell you more, but you'd have to eat a spoonful of vegemite to prove your loyalty.

I hope that your dates will be dates I have off...and maybe {as I am planning on...} not blacked out.

How exciting! It is drawing closer!!!

I ate a fistful of vegemite on a dare once... the only thing I ate in Australia that was worse was at a McDonald's :D

:eek: Anything but that! That stuff is nast-Y! Bleh!

Sorry, but you're getting some in your Show-bag come March. :evil: (do you guys have showbags at your state fairs ? - if not, tell me and I'll explain)



NOW - the latest update: Accommodation has been confirmed in Anaheim and we will be staying at the Peacock Suites for the first 6 nights, then we're moving to the Hojo's right across the road from the park for the next 9 nights !!! *yay* *Woot* *etc.*

I'm a happy chappie !

I'm proud to say, I've vomited on the front lawn of that HoJos after a particularly fun evening :eek:

Thanks - I'll look for the dead patch of grass ! :D

Why the change of location?

We weren't able to get any more availability in the Peacock suites (or other exchange resorts) using the RCI timeshare exchange, so we booked through a travel agent (got a good price too, considering it's spring break)

If things get crazy, you run out of places to hide the bodies...

:eek: If the Lashbears have a party in the hotel room, are we gonna have to check the matresses for dead hookers?

Cool! ;)

I always hate the moment when you pull the shower curtain over to see what's in the bathtub....

Final Itinerary At Last.
 

Well, all the dealing's been done, and everything's finalised now.

We're going to be in the following places on the following days:

March 15th - March 16th: Stopover in Anaheim.
March 17th - March 23rd: Orlando.
March 24th - April 7th: Anaheim.
April 8th - April 14th: San Diego.
April 15th - April 16th: Pismo Beach! and all the clams we can eat!
April 17th - April 27th: San Francisco.
April 28th - Fly home.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized our London dates didn't interrupt our Lashbear time!

Wow, Lash- that's quite the extended tour you have planned! I would love to be able to do that......

We're plotting a northern Europe trip next late summer, but I'd also love a UK trip. I'm jealous, NA- but relieved you'll be in town when I am!

Make sure you set aside time to visiting the local bear bars!

What a great itinerary! I'm looking forward to meeting you.:)

Boom Boom Room?

OMG! We haven't hit the Boom-boom Room in absolutely AGES!

You have a bar called the Boom Boom Room ?!?!?

Never mind. Found the website. We're in ! Make it for one night between April 17th - April 27th :cheers:

Wasn't George Clooney going to tear the Boom Boom down?

Unless things have drastically changed since I was last there, the Boom is not a bear bar.
