Hi,

Travelling to CA on the Friday of the Memorial W/e and wondered what is special about this w/e - Will everything be busy/sold out/noisy?

Cheers

Yes...the entire state of California will be busy/sold out/noisy. They willl be turning people away at the state line expecially people who write weekend as W/e.

Could you be a little less specific???????

Sorry, but if one lives outside the USA, one has no idea what it means Memorial WEEKEND

This is for many families the first opportunity to get way for a three day weekend since school is out. So many places that involve camping, BBQ etc will be very busy. As for"everything" etc, What specifically are you looking into doing in CA and where? More information will help others answer your questions in a helpful manner.

Thank you!

That's what I wanted to know - just generally what it was about (i.e. that people go away for the weekend) - So I guess that the roads will be busy Friday through to Monday?

We are flying into LAX on Friday and staying in LA until the Tuesday.

Sorry I am vague but we haven't got much planned. I noticed from other postings that there was something called "Memorial Weekend" and wondered how it would affect LA and our ability to see things we wanted (e.g. Getty Center/Santa Monica Beach/ Venice Beach etc)

Cheers
