staying at hollywood heights hotel 6th and 7th, looking for a ride to san diego on the 8th (or 9th), MIGHT have a rental car that i would need to drop off at lax or lgb, this is not set in stone and i'm open to suggestions, had hoped for a one-way rental from la to san diego, but it isn't cost effective - if all else fails, i will greyhound or amtrak it but figured to open the conversation and see what sort of response there is, i am very flexible

    AmTrak... check the schedule... search for 'SurfLiner'.
    I have taken the train from Anaheim Stadium to the End of the Line in San Diego for 19 bucks, one way. It's a beautiful ride, once you get past (former MCAS) El Toro. There is a tramrail that heads towards the University from the train station.
    ...
    I'm hitching a ride down there already.... good luck with that.

  • I might be available for that ride... Same goes for you Cosmo! Least I could do for letting me use your hotel shower up in San Francisco during our street-sleeping spree back in 2006.

    I'm driving down by myself, OR if 1 or more people want to car pool down that would be great.


    Johnny if you are around there perhaps we could drive down together, as well as the OP?


    I'm hoping to leave pretty early afternoon on Friday and return after the show..... but I'm amenable to whatever schedule works if a carpool is in the works.

    I'm in the South Pasadena area, but could also leave from Monterey Park. (right off the 5 freeway where the 60, 10, and 710 meet).

    I'm partial to taking my own car for the sake of... uh... convenience I guess. But I plan on stopping in to "see my friend" in S.D. before the show for a little pre-party. You sure you want to drive back up to LA after the show? That would be one hell of an exhausting 2 hour trip....

    Good point........ Haven't actually given it too much thought. I was thinking surgical strike, but might have to rethink that plan.......
  • I've made the same decision many times and lived to regret it. I lived in San Diego for ten years and would regularly drive up here (to L.A.) for shows with the plan to drive right back home afterwards. But those shows take a lot of energy out of you, and 3/4 of the time I regretted the hell out of deciding to make the trip home the same night.
  • If you don't have to drop off a rental Amtrak is a good option. Drops you right downtown SD and you can hop the trolley from there to the show. Plus the view from San Clemente to Oceanside is awesome.
