What Southern California members are going?

And those who are going, are you flying or driving?

I'm wondering if anyone would consider carpooling, if they are driving (23 hour drive!

)...Or meeting to fly together...

I really don't mind going out of my way to do this. I'm kind of intimidated by the prospect of traveling all that way with only Wobie, so it would be worth it.

I know its a year away, but I'm just seeing if anyone would be interested in considering the possibility...or if I should find other arrangements. I also thought it would be another fun way to get to know other members!

Hmmmm...I just made the drive from Kansas City, MO to Los Angeles 2.5 years ago when I moved out here, and I'm not sure I want to do it again. At this point, I'm just planning on flying there (assuming it actually ends up being there - since they haven't decided on a for sure location yet), but depending on how Sukoshi does when we fly her back to KC for Christmas, I guess I may have different feelings after. I'd definitely be up for meeting to fly together! That would be great! We may not all be able to go on the same flight though, since I think the MOST number of animals I've seen allowed in the coach cabin is 5, and some don't even accept that many (Delta, for instance, only allows 2

). I'm sure we can work it out though. Maybe I could even talk my parents into picking us up from MCI (depending on how many there are), so that we don't have to rent cars to get to the hotel or wherever they decide to hold it?! We'll have to see what the final location is, and we can go from there.

Just a quick reminder ... most airlines have a set amount of pets that they allow on each flight. I think most standard is 2 ecomony and 1 in first class. So if you want to do a big group on the flights, some may have to put their babies in cargo ... which I know no one wants to do!

I hope you all come!! It will be awesome to finally meet!

Get a motel or hotel that supplies the ride to and from the motel or hotel. It's so much nicer to let someone else do the driving.

If that is not an option I would be happy to supply transportation for as many as I can!

I'm in NoCa and I might be going depending on the dates. I think I would fly too. A lot less time and headache. I will be taking 2 though. I'm actually flying to SoCa on Fri to pick up #2. Very exciting

I'm going next week to Kansas and then Texas. Maybe this can be considered a "test" run...to do the dog shows.
