Oh, Yay, Los Angeles in August

The Fates want me at Worldcon. Alaska had been offering a really decent rate to fly in and out of Long Beach a coupla weeks ago -- just over $200. But then I waited too long to book it, and it went poof. So then I was going to have to pay more like $300. Shelling out an extra $100 just for being a teensy bit tardy, well, it made me cranky and I sulked for a while. Then I decided to put it off until payday, and just hope the rates didn't go up *again*. So it was with some trepidation that I got up this morning and pointed my browser to kayak.com and spun up a fare search. *Ping* SEA->LGB: $217. And so I fell on it with cries of glee and now I have me a ticket to Worldcon. And a membership. Total cost so far: $217. Now to waffle indecisively about whether to get a rental car.

It might be doable.

Let me talk to Maia, and see what the general plans are. I'm not planning to do the whole con, but I am looking at a couple of days.

When did you want to arrive? Maia has clasess (since her break ends the week before) but I don't know what they are yet, nor how free her afternoons can be made (the schedule is very programmed).

Let me talk to Maia, and see what the general plans are. Okay, that's fine. You know my numbers.

When did you want to arrive?
At the con? Oh, I was assuming heading there semi-directly. It occurs to me that a side-trip to the Long Beach Johnny Reb's for a late breakfast or early lunch might be very nice, though. Certainly I'm hoping to hit one Johnny Reb's or another over the course of the visit.

On the other hand, if it doesn't work out, no huhu. Just let me know reasonably far in advance so I can make alternate plans as needed.
