Ok guys, time to make some preparations. So far Funked and I have 5 people to carpool from San Jose are. This mean two cars, I'll be driving one and Bumwipe (probably) the second one. We are planning to stay at Covina Embassy Suites (rates $99-$200). Funked will make the reservations as soon as we know who is going.

So, speak up!

P.S. The current plan is to leave Fri at 3:00-4:00 PM. Early, delicious STEAK dinner at Harris Ranch and then upon arrival, a traditional kabanosy and beer evenning.

Saturday, Airshow all day and a dinner afterwards.
Sun morning, static displays at the Museum, leaving around noon.

Hmmm Harris Ranch, yummy beef... But the Denny's on the other side of I5 is nice too. ;)

Unfortunately there is no way I can go, I want to graduate in June so I must focus on my senior projects. :eek:

Find an adult with a cell to accompany you to the airshow.  Then we can hook up.

This is a senior project, a very senior at that.
