Well the decision isn't 100% sorted yet as to whether I can go, but I'll be coming from England. I've been to SDCC 4 times already, and finally finding money isn't growing on trees. :P

Its the flights from the UK that are the killer.

Oh god, tell me about it! We're looking at £1700 at least. It's ridiculous. Last year we got one for £1400 but that was indirect and through Lufthansa. Not sure we'll get away with that this time. So we gotta decide wisely.

Since I got super lucky and this year had no problems or crashes I got 4days+preview. I am flying from Jonquiere Quebec Canada to LA and driving from LA to San Diego. Reasons I am going to LA

#1 I could use my 50K miles and fly first class direct from Montreal to LA since Jonquiere to Montreal only has a propeler plane. I could if used 37,500 miles and flew from Montreal to San Diego but I would of flew coach and had a bunch of layovers. Also I arrived at the same time 9pm on Monday.

#2 This lets me say 2 Nights in LA and save money and go to Disney with the savings. Since my 11 yr cousin will be comming on my badge.

This leads to a second question, my Aunt will also be coming since she is his mom hehe. Last year I was unable to get tickets for her so this year I did not try to get he a ticket on pre-release sale. My 2 extra spots went wasted :( But I hear people where able to get tickets for people who did not go last year. I did not want to take a chance of getting an error so I did not try, but anyone know if this rumor is true.

Also how does parking work for the Marriot(convention) and the Hilton(bayside) and how hard is it to park at the two hotels so close to the convention. I hope to get to the closest Hotel with parking to the convention center. Will have to wait for the TP lottery.

Now this leads also to another question, can I enter both me and my Aunt in the Tp lottery and chose between the two for the best hotel?

If you are staying at the hotel you will be able to park at the hotel. This will involve an extra feel, probably $20-$40 per night.

I'm traveling a whopping 15 minutes. I'm so tired thinking of it.

lol. In reality, sometimes I half want to get a hotel downtown just for the experience and not having to drive home after all the crazy. But that would be silly since I'm in central San Diego.
