(...) No worries Jeremy. I just hadn't got around to emailing you to ask if you wanted to go. I didn't know I'd RSVP'ed either :-) Makes me feel good though. Okay Brad I guess I'm in.

| | Re: SD airport <-> Carlsbad driving time?
|

I would actually agree with this suggestion. I would say that the drive time to Carlsbad from the Orange County airport is about 50 minutes, but not too much of that is apt to be high traffic. Only about the first 5 miles from the airport tend to (...) (24 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.people, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sd, lugnet.legoland.california)
