Southwest has a deal that is like 99 one way, but you have to book it 21 days in advance.

Flights into Ontario are ususally pretty steep. LAX and Orange Country airports are ususally cheaper to fly into and aren't that far away from Ontario. A shuttle from LAX to Ontario will run you about $40.

Orange county is a little closer then LAX to Ontario. Plus... Orange County's airport is John Wayne airport... how cool is that? Orange County is about 35 miles and LAX is in the mid 40's if I remember correctly from Ontario. LAX is a little easier to get too... all interstate.

Yeah Ewker, I am busted. My friends are renting a cabin on the lake and I am considering ditching them to backpack in the Sierras. Can you blame me?

I guess you take which offer is the best since you bailed on the Smokies trip to be with them (best buds on the lake)one last time }:-O

I would love to go Gem, but I did already make plans with my friends at the lake. They would be pretty pissed. Hmmmm, should I piss them off and come to the Sierra and have an awesome bping trip? Or not piss them off, have a great party at the lake, and maybe not get out to the Sierras for a long time?

if you can go to the Sierra this weekend, you can certainly go another. Its just a matter of priorities

True, hyway. But there aren't going to be many weekends in which she could make it a threesome of TT women in the Sierras.
