late June - early July: houseguest1 closely followed by houseguest2 as the PacNW heads South to visit
Fri, July 7: Bugs Bunny @ H-wood Bowl (assuming those dang-blasted tix show up!)

POSSIBILITY #1:

Fly back to SoCal
Drive up to WA for a week (drive M 7/17, arr W 7/19)

POSSIBILITY #2:
Drive to WA (lv 7/8, arr 7/10)
Fly from WA to Canada (East Coast) (approx 7/15 - 7/23)
Fly back from Canada to WA

THEN (AFTER EITHER CHOICE ABOVE):
Drive down to NoCal to arrive by W, July 26 (prolly lv M, 7/24)
Chaperone neices to NYC by train and enjoy NYC for a couple of daze: July 27 - Aug 2/3

Not sure what works better for WA folks or for my hopefully available travel partner (

delerium3) on the CA-WA-CA portion of the adventure. Need to find out whether the train trip to NYC's likely, 'cause if not, there's far more flexibility involved (although I've gotta return from Canada no later than 7/28.
