So i proposed this yesterday in the BBM group, and now im going to post up so see what interest there is in this. mike, me, john and chris (shadowzx3) have an interest in this. it will not be for another year and a bit, will be during the summer and hoefully when focus on the beach is happening. This will be a driving thing aswell!!!

The plan would be this:

-leave on a friday morning from ontario, end up in lincoln nebraska or somewhere in that area for the first night (that will be about a 16 hour drive)

-saturday leave in the morning again, end up in las vegas for that night (another 17 hour drive)

-sunday go from vegas to anaheim california, about a 4 hour drive. yes that means we can take time in vegas if we want to.

So we would arrive in california on sunday, stay until friday (unless people want to go back to vegas for a day) and do the same thing heading back home.

To give a bit of a break down cost wise, your looking at roughly 600$ in gas, to get there and back. now that was calculated at 400 km's a tank and roughly 8000km round trip. that way, it is calculated as a higher then actual amount. extra cash is always nice after an expensive trip as i know most of us can do 500-600 a tank highway if not better.

For food, well depending on what kind of food you eat or how baller you feel, when i went to florida for my trip, i allowed 40$ for my self a day, had extra money left over as going out for dinner was never more then 15$ and the day never was more then 35$. im going to say 50$ as a buffer zone, maybe some extra for the casino etc...

As for lodging expenses, well we talked and the general consesus is that we sleep in cars on way there, hotel when we get to cali. Rooms run in the 100$ range, group rates as low as 70$ and all varying upon what hotel is chosen. so for sunday night to thursday night (check out friday morning) were looking (on the high side) at 500$.

The total for this trip, now this would be per car/person/1 room

food: 400$
gas: 600$
lodging: 500$

those would be the major expenses and since we are going to plan so far in advance, it leaves plenty of time to open a TFSA and save up some money every month.

One last note for this, in the area there are a lot of attractions. there are a few amusement parks, like disney, universal, knotts along with many other attractions besides FSwerks and the beach. so keep that in mind for things to do while in the area. we dont have to all be together all the time, it will be good to go off and do your own thing aswell so if you are interested, plan ahead for those types of fun.

So who wants to come?!
