Check that - NORTH of LAX, not south. You may want to look at some of the
shells by legoland - just grab the white pages and use the phone, not the
gas to look. If you have access to a computer use mapquest.com for the
directions. And they say you have to make a $10 purchace, I have never had
to do that, the gas at shell is on the high side. I may be up in Carlsbad
on Saturday and Sunday, not sure. My dad lives appx. 4 miles from Legoland,
such temptation I have, lol. If you can give me an email, I may join you -
hopefully I can - it has been almost 3 weeks since my last visit to legoland!
