Danny, if you are flying through LAX on Sunday evening, we might be able to have a hangover party...as I'm flying into Santa Maria through LAX on Sunday.

Our flight leaves for LAX at 1:10 from O'hare (I know, sucks) and lands around 3pm IIRC. But I'm not flying up north, I will drive up either later Sunday or Monday morning.

How much more did that run you to fly into Santa Maria?

Well, I'm not flying out till after 6pm. Don't really know how much more it was since I never priced out to LAX only...but needless to say it was cheaper than trying to fly into SLO and its closer to Nipomo as well...my destination.

What're you up to in Nipomo? Do you live there?

FYI,

If my memory is not on the blink, in the early days of film, C.B. Demille shot the "Ten Commandments" there. I believe parts of his sets are buried in the dunes.

Yes, I heard about the place...I will definitely need to go there. My company is in the Ag industry...so rural is where it needs to be. Heck...its why I work 30 miles south of Tampa in BFE...cause you don't put up Greenhouses in downtown

I have 40 so far. KTF you there?

I'm making calls today.

Alright, I made a couple of phone calls, here's the skinny.

I figure we're talking about 7 hours worth of bus time (7pm leaving, returning at 1am with an hour cushion to get us home on the back end). The cost per person is somewhere in the $25-30 range total both ways, depending on what type of bus we end up needing and how many people. I can't start figuring out one-way costs based on someone only wanting to go one way and take a cab home early or late or whatever.

I would like to hear from the crowd at this point: Are you all still in? Keep in mind you can probably get a cab from downtown for about $50-$60 (I asked Otis) which would be about the same total price if 4 people share ($120/4), but the problem might become finding enough suburban cabs at 1am that want to take us all downtown (I don't know how that works in the burbs). If we hire a bus the bus sits with us for the evening, basically parked nearby. Last time we did this the driver was a little antsy to get going, but it worked out ok.

Please chime in now with consent or dissent! I'll book early next week if I hear back from enough people.

I agree...trying to get us all back via cabs at 1am....4 people at a time seems difficult. We are still in for the bus

I am in for the roundtrip bus for 2 people. Thanks

IW

We're in for 2. Not sure if we can make it to 1, but will pay for both ways if we catch a cab back.

Thx for all the work!

I am in for 1 both ways. Thanks for arranging this.

MLV and Jcocktosten in for 2 both ways - Thanks Grossie - For what its worth, if I recall, getting cabs for the pick up back to town after the CDP last time was a pain so having this taken care of is a great plan

Grossie - thank you very much for doing all the legwork to set this up. In for 2 round trip.

...and very much looking forward to meeting you

Looks like I'll just default to the 55 passenger coach to be safe, next size down is 44. Price difference is about $15 per hour.

Still open for anyone else - once again KTF you there?

grossie, you should confirm DoktaP (2) and myself (1).

Thanks man!

Grossie, thanks for doing this. Consider me plus 1 confirmed.

grossie-

Please count me in for the fun bus.

Thank you for making the arrangements.

Could you add me +PLUS+ ONE to the list.

Still in +1

confirm us for both ways

Grossie,

My 2 friends who live down the street from you would be interested in the bus. I'll send them an email to confirm.

Is one of the stops going to be at your home?
