Who is planning to go to the funeral?

^^Well, they did it on January 16th 2004 after the arraignment.... there is no other way than to park inside... on the street there won't be enough space! Trust me, I've been there and inside a couple of times!

Yes, there is only one road in... check out Google Map or Google Earth... so you can see an areal view!

But this is going to be 100 times bigger!

It will be chaos! :(
 
having proper official notice would have been nice. its just not possible for me now ill travel out there later when its peaceful if thats where mj is gonna stay or if theres gonna be some sort of proper memorial service.
 
So is it absolutely sure the funeral will be held in Neverland? Do we have a date yet?

I have been a fan since I was 9 years old. I have walked the journey with Michael and I owe it to him to walk it with him to the end...so I would like to go.
 
Hopefully some sort of shuttle service will be organized, that would help with crowd control and the number of people coming in and out of the grounds as well.

This is also the 4th of July holiday weekend in the United States, ALOT of cars will be on the road. Everyone PLEASE drive safely.
 
I'm going...hopefully in about an hour and a half I will have booked my flights.

Gotta rent a car, got the google map, got the hotel...

just please lord dont let the flights book up before I can book my tickets.

I'm coming to say goodbye sweet Michael.

I just booked a hotel too, I booked until Monday since nothing seems official yet, I didn't want to book the flight until we knew exactly what parts of this are for the public.

Where are you staying? I am staying at a Super 8, cheap but it will do, I couldn't find much around.
 
I feel the same Lorraine. I feel like I NEED TO BE THERE!!! I wasn't in Santa Maria during the trial and that has been so difficult to live with during all these years. :cry: And now it's the last time we can show our love and support for Michael and it's more important than any concert, any public appearance....and I can't be there. :cry: And that thought is killing me. It makes it TWO important times when I was not there, and I feel like I have completely failed as a fan. :cry: I feel I NEED TO BE THERE to say goodbye to Michael....but I have no idea how I could ever get such a huge amount of money together in such short notice. And not only that, I have no idea where I could stay and how I could get to Neverland and back...even though I guess those could be solved somehow...but I'd need money for that also. And no matter how I try to twist it...I can't find a way to come up with 3000 dollars by the end of the week (flights are over 2000 dollars at the moment)...I so wish I could be there to say goodbye, but I just can't find a way...:cry: :cry: I can only hope that at least on July 13th fans will gather and hold a memorial for Michael at the O2 so that I can at least SOME WAY say goodbye. :cry:

Michael I am so deeply sorry and it is breaking my heart that I can't be there to say goodbye.....I wish I could be there and I know not being there will haunt me for the rest of my life. Please forgive me and please know I WILL be there in SPIRIT. I will miss you SO MUCH....more than words can ever be able to express...and I will love you....FOR ALL TIME. Sleep well, dear Michael, and I will see you when my time comes. Until then...you will always be in my heart. I love you from the bottom of my heart!!!! :cry:
 
^ I have to do all of the above but I want OFFICIAL times and how everything will works. If thousands of fans come how in the world with this work will it be outside??? I just don't see how this is going down. for these many to view him.

Also are there taxis...cuz that would be better to have a taxi drop me off. BUT I just don't know. If I drove I would defo have to get a rental with gps.

How about those of us who don't have an American driving license? Are there buses?

You don't need an american driving license... don't know where you're from, but usually you can use your own national driver's license... or otherwise you could get an international drivers license from your local automobile club! Don't think there will be buses... you could try though to get to Santa Barbara by train or bus and take a taxi from there... but from SB it's still about a 40 min ride, if there is no traffic!

That's what I said! ;) The idea is nice, but it's actually crazy to do it there!
 
:( I know how you feel Summer. I've missed out on everything. I'm too young and powerless. not being able to say bye to Michael kills me inside. :cry: I feel like i fail as a fan. I cannot possibly go to America on my own.
1, no money
2, parents wouldn't allow me
3, not old enough
4, my life is ruined

:( :cry:

SO sorry Michael. i love you forever angel.

just wish i could say goodbye, never met you before :(

It's just that Australians drivers sit on the right side. It's a whole different way of driving.
Trains sound good.
But gosh, this seems more impossible by the minute...

dont worry summer there will be many times im sure when u can say goodbye to him yourself. if he stays at the ranch u can travel at anytime. even if its only to the gates.ontop of any memorial services that are organised for him. remember hes not there anymore he isnt aware. please dont feel u let him down in someway u spent days outside cold hotels supporting him and he knows this. i have no doubt that in the future we will beable to be close to him if not only because of the $that will be made out of it *hugs*
 
I live in the LA arean and have been to Neverland on numerous occasions. There is a huge designated parking area inside of Neverland and the staff was very well trained and organised in knowing how to get large number of cars in and parked. With that said I'm sure the number of people that will show up for the memorial service will be unmatched with any previous event held at Neverland. Neverland is about 2 hours north of Los Angeles. Let me know if I can help out in any way.
 
Traffic will be horrible due to this and the fact that it's the 4th of july weekend. I suggest taking flights to that area if possible, if not, take a lot of time for driving, it'll be total madness.
 
Can anyone please tell me which place would be best to stay?
I've only been in Cali once and it was years ago, so I have no idea how to move around.

I feel the same, it's awful knowing that i will never have the chance to see him. I want to go so bad :( I'm only 17 though and there's no way my mum would pay, even if we could afford it my brother is getting married on Saturday so i couldn't miss that. Ever since I have been a fan i had looked forward to being old enough to go and see him around the world, then when the o2 concerts were announced I was so happy that i would finally see him and my dream would come true. Now i know that there is no way i shall ever see him for the rest of my life i am terrified.
He was taken away too early. This shouldnt be happening.
Also my brother is going to California for his honeymoon on Monday. At least is he could have been there i would have felt a bit better
 
I'm going tomorrow with iluvmj. Flight is booked, hotel is booked, rental car is booked. We'll be flying into Burbank arriving tomorrow evening. We are staying at a Motel 6.

Okay.... the thing with the driving sucks... I wouldn't recommend it, if you have never drove on the RIGHT side of the street! ;) But at least you speak the language... so that makes it a little bit less scary! But on your own, without a car it's indeed not that easy, especially with such short notice!
 
DirtyDiana2000!! Please say hi to iluvmj for me!! How is she doing? Her little girl must be so big already!

I don't know about street, but we sit on the opposite side of the car from you guys...
But yeah, this is looking impossible. Plus, we're such a far way away.
 
^^Closest Airport would be Santa Barbara about 40 mins or Santa Maria, also about 40 mins!

No, I meant... we drive on the right side of the street and you guys drive on the wrong side of the street... it was just a failed attempt at humour! Sorry! But yeah, I guess coming from Australia doesn't make things easier!
