Hi Keith et al, Yep, I did mean Los Angeles (LAX)- it is the only arrival point in the US for Australian flights, apparently, so I have to land there before making side trips via domestic flights to wherever else I want to visit. I apologise for any confusion that my abbreviation may have caused, but then again, I don't think they had a Hollywood sign in Louisiana last time I checked? <vbg>
Rob, I had the same thoughts as you and I am just waiting for flight centre to call me back in regards to the regulations. But, I was offered the option of an overnight in L.A. so it must be ok to do so.... (and I may yet take up this option, if the LAPDML really does look like going ahead...) tan. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Whaley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 20 March 2004 10:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: LAPDML? was:RE: It's official!! I would be, but we're likely to be in the UK then, on OUR vacation! I'll be dragging my Optio S4 and possibly my MX with a 19mm f/3.8 and the SMC FA 28-70mm f/4 AL zoom. Uhhh, you DID mean Los Angeles, didn't you? Here (in the U.S.) we abbreviate the state of Louisiana as LA, while Los Angeles is abbreviated L.A. in CAlifornia. Most non-California residents in the U.S. make the same error. keith whaley Los Angeles Paul Eriksson wrote: > There is a few of us in LA, if you get a long enough layover we could > get together for LAPDML.
