    US Open is Sept 9 - Sept 13 (final) in Califorina, Orange County Badminton Club.
    We had a blast last year with some of the BF members.
    Watched the finals, took a lotta pictures, and played alotta badminton!
    And we plan to be there this year to watch at least the final matches.
    Who else is going this year?

    Count me in.

    However, might need ppl do me a favor to introduce the local hotels and if some pickup would be a big bonus...

    Lazy about driving, and the most difficult part is to figure out the route w/o getting lost...

    Driving??? I will be dead on the way... I mean, rent a car (so, pickup is better... save $$$, save energy, heheheheh) once I get out of plane.

    So far, I plan to stay from 10 or 11th to 14th (morning), total of 4,5 days at most. Hopefully everything will work out, and I don't have to go bankrupt after this trip.

    Trying to book airplane tickets right now.

    Which airport is closer to the gym? SNA or LGB? The price for LGB is $70 more. Therefore, if not too much difference, I will go for SNA.

    Any information regarding to hotel, car rental (pick up, lol...) and airport will be a huge help.

    Thanks a lot.

    SNA = John Wayne Airport is very close to the Gym.
    We will be heading up from SD to OCBC (US open location) in the afternoon of Sept 13th, if your flight fits our schedule, we'd be happy to go pick you up. Message me, and we'll talk more about it. :)

    U coming only on the 13th??? Just for the final matches?

    If I really can make this trip, I think I should be there no later than late day of 11th. For such a long trip, just staying for 1 night kinda not worthy for me $$$ vise...
