Ok, so here is the plan... I will fly into from Brisbane to Tokyo on Wed, 26 May, stay overnight in Tokyo, and then onto LA, Thursday, 27 May, arriving at 10.15 am. Check into Best Western Suites Hotel, 5005 W Century Boulevard, Los Angeles (courtesy bus from LAX will get me there).
I then have about 4 hours to "kill" before heading back to the hotel and getting ready for my big night at the Madonna Concert. (Great Western Forum). Friday, 28 May, check out of hotel at approx. 10 am. I am yet to book my flight from LA to Washington, DC (where I will meet up with TV), and so what I do on the Friday is really flexible at this stage. I can't really afford another nights accomodation in LA though, so will probably have to fly straight to DC late afternoon on the Friday. So, at this stage, it appears that I could also have most of the Friday to "kill", and so I was hoping that there might be some LA Pdml'ers wishing to meet up for a few hours either on the Thursday, 27 May, between about 12 noon and 4pm OR for the full day on Friday 28 May. I actually wouldn't mind staying in LA another night so that I can get to "check out" LA by night as I won't get to see it on the Thursday night whilst at the concert. If anyone knows of some good cheap LA accomodation that isn't too far from Downtown/where the "action" is, I would love to hear suggestions, and if I can afford it, may extend my stay and fly to DC on the Saturday morning instead. Unfortunately, despite all of your lovely offers, advice and suggestions, I won't be making it as far as San Jose or San Francisco this time. BUT, thankyou all so very much for all of your assistance (and especially to John!) when I asked about it! Looking forward to any and all suggestions... tan.
