The limitation on lack of eating and drinking places near the venue is because of the choice of the particular hotel. IEEE is in the Hyatt on the waterfront, and Old Town is well within walking distace, with lots of restaurant choices. On 7/19/06, Andy Bierman <ietf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

First, I want to clarify my original mail. I meant that if you live in LA, it doesn' pay to fly to San Diego. It's way faster and cheaper to drive your own car there instead of flying. Second, remember that the San Diego location is not close to very many good dining and drinking spots, so having a car at the next IETF will be useful. Third, renting a car in LA and driving is a really bad idea (instead of getting a free connecting flight) unless you want to visit LA or the area between LA and San Diego while you at the next IETF. (Trust me, if you have never been to Laguna Beach, go there if you want to see what SoCal is really like.) > > d/ Andy _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
