Sucks.
There. Now these are no longer unknown. :) Seriously, neither is actually

My uncle lives about ten miles from LAX... took me about two hours to drive
from his place to Legoland. It's not a short drive in the airline-stopover

anyhow. :) It's pretty much required to be a day, once you've added in
fun problems like renting a car and not wanting to ever go home.
