smonster! [Edit: Teppy!] Sigh.
for SEVEN HOURS
I can't blame you for not liking parks, after something like that.
Then demands Nilly and Aimee pictures at Disney
Oh, another warning: I'm probably going to be pictures-crazy, as well. I'll have to have my picture taken with everybody, and then a second one, just to make sure, in case the first one didn't turn up well enough. And then a group one, and then another, from a different angle, just to make sure everybody is inside. I'm the one who takes the pictures of the rooms in which I am, in order to remember that, as well. And after my usual pictures-greediness around here, I wouldn't be able to settle for less from me, I guess, so it'll only be fair.
Consider yourselves warned.
falls in love with Nilly even more
I had no idea that seas have monkeys
Since I have a feeling that Nilly doesn't know what Sea Monkeys are: Sea Monkeys!
Steph, no frequent flyer miles?
Not enough, due to my lack of loyalty to any one specific airline. I have miles with 3 different carriers, I think.
Jet Blue and Southwest are very reasonably priced airlines flying in/out of Oakland, FYI. eta: neither of which will show up on any of the travel search sites; you have to go their sites.
Are there any thoughts of looking for group hotel rates and a hosp. suite and/or party location outside of people's homes, kind of like the big F2F?
LA to San Fran is about 400 miles and a four hour drive depending on time and day you leave.
Um, yikes, I don't drive that fast. I was also thinking that I'd drive up the 101 since you get to see some great scenery that way. That route takes between 7 and 8 hours.
As for theme parks and such, if Nilly wants to go to any I'm happy to go. I loveses them. I'll also introduce you to Roller Coasters if you are crazy enough to try them. I may be able to get us a few passes to Universal Studios, I'll check on it.

I don't know about group rates, but as for a hospitality suite, I'd resist that strenuously. I've been working out the details for the weekend with Nilly for awhile now; since I've got room to host anywhere up to 40 people outdoors at our place, I'd rather not upset my own planning by adding a lot of outside factors, and centering half the party arrangements elsewhere.
