We have 6 more days to go! I'm so excited and can't wait to attend my very first one.
I'm so excited to meet all the old and new friends.
What day are you arriving at Media Center in Burbank?
I will arrive on Thursday night as soon I get off work at 6:30pm which I'm about one hour and 25 minutes drive from my home on the West coast.

Our plane is scheduled to arrive Thursday afternoon at 3:38 p.m. if there are no delays. We are flying into Bob Hope Airport (BUR) at Burbank. Holiday Inn offers a free shuttle to the Hotel. Glad of that, I like to save money any chance I get.
I just read an article on the computer about the 10 worst airports in the U.S. that pilots don't like. One of them happened to be Bob Hope & the reason was because the runway is so short that it makes it hard to land a plane. That's just what I needed to hear! LOL!! LAX was also on the list (because of wind) & we will be flying out of there on Sunday 9/30 on our way to San Francisco.
Since you live in California, are you going to Saturday's reunion event too? If so, will it be easy to get there since they will have some of the roads closed because of construction? Will it take longer to get there because of that?
I'm excited too! It will also be my very first reunion. My husband & I haven't had a "vacation" without the kids since 1999......to actually have a conversation with him without constantly being interrupted by a kid.......to be able to eat a meal with him without one of the kids sitting between us.....I will think I'm dreaming! LOL!!

LAX is the worst airport which I refuse to fly out if John Wayne Airport doesn't have the route I'm looking for. I tried to tell my daughter not to fly out of LAX but she wouldn't listen to me. They always go to Hawaii or whenever she and my son in law goes. LAX is cheaper than Long Beach, Burbank, Ontartio, and John Wayne. I love John Wayne Airport which is about 10 minutes from my house but their runway is also short too. I will not attend the Saturday event but will go to the exterior Waltons house in the morning. You will not have trouble with the roads closed. I basically hate driving at night which I will have to on Thursday after work. The traffic is bad but we're gonna wait till it settle down around 7:30 pm.

I'm like Ryan....to get the best price, we are flying out of Alabama, connecting flight in Dallas, Tx., then to Phoenix, Az then finally flying into Burbank. Originally when we went to book a flight, the cheapest air fare to Burbank, it had one more layover than what we have now. Glad we waited two more weeks to book. We bought our flights back in June. I went online today & the same flights we have booked have went way up. If we had waited until now, we would have had to cough up an additional $1,688.00!! The prices have more than doubled! We wouldn't have had that so we would have been caught between a rock & a hard place. At least on the way back home.....we are flying out of San Francisco (SFO), then to Dallas, Tx & finally Sweet Home Alabama!! ;D

My husband and I will be flying out of Yeager Airport in Charleston, WV, on Thursday morning. I love flying out of small airports like Yeager because it is so easy to go through security. We will fly from there to Dulles airport in Washington, DC, then we'll arrive at LAX at about 3:00 PM. I have flown in and out of LAX a several times before, and never had a problem, except that it is very large. Can't wait to see everyone.

We are very excited Robert and I leave Charlotte in the morning on Wednesday and arrive Bob Hope early afternoon on Jet Blue. We will check in and probably walk over to the mall for some shopping and dinner. Thursday we have Universal VIP Tour in Morning and a new TV Show taping-Malibu Country (Reba Mcintyre & Lilly Tomlin) at CBS Studios in the evening. Friday to Warners Brothers for Studio Tour, then to the LA Zoo and then event in the evening. Saturday House Tour and the evening event. Sunday we leave at 7:00 a.m., very exhausted and happy. Can't wait to meet everyone. Packing has been a challenge-lots of hot weather outfits and a few cool weather for the evening. As usual we have over packed-Eric (Jeff) & Robert

Well it's a quick 90-minute hop for me from Phoenix over to Burbank - coming Friday morning and arriving at the hotel probably around 1:00 pm likely. Darn I was so looking forward to nice cool ocean breezes after our hot desert summer here but guess it's going to be hot & humid in California.
