I checked the rooms at the Westin LAX. I first checked yesterday and for some weird reason, all rooms went up $10 for same dates when I check just now???? $119 per night to $270 ($119 was the 2 Queen, double occupancy room) I can drive to Ontario hotels in about 90 minutes from my house. Depending on traffic, I would need over 2 hours to get to LAX. So commuting would be out of the question, but that's Me. Others may be closer, of course. Ontario is 15 minutes from the potential site and a much friendlier airport. Easier to get out and around after landing. I really don't like the LAX area... but that's me again. JMO But thrilled to be see you all!!!
