the 20th is a 10 hour... that's feasible... but the big boys hide at the 12 hour spot, which is the sunday trip... will the 21st work equally well for you?

I'm just going to make this frickin' work. I believe my wife will be in the Philippines then, or that's her plan right now. If we solidify the dates, I can present the idea to my boss (cigar smoker as well, we fish together a lot) and he can come, too, if he wants to.

Works for me.

We call that crawfishing.

Things have gotten very busy around here, so I apologize for being slow on this...

I'm good for 5/21 for fishing if that suits everyone...

victor, it won't be a cake walk, but I have done it... left burbank around midnight, did a 10 hour fishing trip in morro, back to burbank immediately after, and then in to work for 10 hours after about 3 hours sleep... you will be sore and if you don't shower you'll probably get fired... but the last 3 hours of the trip is just making our way back to shore and there's a nice sitting area inside where you can catch a little nap... you're young, I'm sure you can swing it...

Delta, MACS. Drafter, what say you? anyone else? anyone seen sdbolts fan around?

As for Cambria Pines - Apparently that time of year there is a minimum 2 night stay... and their availability is low and they've raised their rates considerably - either just for that time of year, or for the whole year....

soooo... I'm open to suggestions... that's the only lodging in the area that I have first hand knowledge of... I can do some homework and probably find another place, it will likely just take me a couple of days...

taking a trip in the RV in March for about a week... not sure If I can do both.. I'm on hold unless I sell my other house..

I'm good with 5/21. Ant, let us know where you're flying to, and if it's between Ontario and Santa Barbara, we (MACS and I) can pull over and pick you up on the way. If we arrange for lodging, I'm with MACS - good with no frills. We should plan to stay at least the night before we go fishing, the 20th, and the 21st, after we get back from fishing.

sounds good to me!

I may be finishing up a project and technically unemployed around then... that's free my schedule up.

Or I'll be in the middle of a nasty deadline.

So... for an additional 200$ I don't have to listen to you guts spoon all night?

How far is this place from the wharf? I think closer is better... I can sleep more.

I do have a very nice queen size air mattress that has an attached pump to inflate and deflate it, though.

Couple rooms would be better. If I gotta pay more for comfort, I'm good with that.

That would be great. I have a ticket reserved. It was the last one left on the flight. I plan to buy it ASAP.

Just talked to Joel. It's set in stone. We are going on the 21st.

I'm coming in on the 19th at 10:00 AM. Shawn will be picking me up in San Diego.

Cbid ahould really think about providing a corporate jet for us select members...

Add my cousin Rene as a maybe. He lives near Temecula.

Just checked the Cambria Pines lodge again. They have two large suites available, each with a king bedroom, a queen and a Murphy in the living room. This will easily accommodate our 6 (with Rene) 3 in each, with space for any additional straggler if MACS and I bring our air mattresses. Each suite is $249, per night, about $90-100/night per person with taxes and fees. All of their basic rooms with two beds and a shower are taken. We need to decide soon, if we want to make reservations...

I'm good with Best Western or Cambria Pines.

Opel, if we're not reserving the boat... are we at least reserving our spots?

Also, i had my brother listed as going... he realized last week that that's his anniversary(He's so lucky he realized now and not while he was on the boat) ... so he's not going....

Don't forget that Aunt Opel is flying me out so he can make me try some MJ.

What are you slackers waiting on???
