Plans for Neverland on friday

Don't rely on the subway, it's very limited and doesn't go far at all. Maybe there's a train, maybe! There's no subway that goes to St. Barbara. I'd say a car is your best bet, but take plenty of time.
 
I have been an MJ fan for 25 years and have worked as a travel consultant for the last 9 years. You def need to hire a car as no decent public transport to Los Olivos and def not to Neverland. I have been there before in 2003. Once funeral plans are officially announced i hope to book my flight asap to LAX from WLG (airport code for Wellington, New Zealand). I am happy to book a rental car and do the driving if a group of us get together to share costs. Not sure about accommodation. I think the best thing to do is to just wing it, which means to sort it out once there when we know what we are doing. Buellton, Solvang are good places to stay. Los Olivos is only small and very posh so it would cost lots to stay there though i don't think there is very much accomm actually there.
I will take my 2 person tent as well, just in case....
Hopefully we will get an official announcement soon so i can book my flight, get time off work etc....

the car would be a great idea, when do you land?

We're desperate to come but nothing has been booked yet.
We need to find accomodation in order to fill in that Visa Waiver thing.
NO idea where to live/how to book a place.

By the way, we really appreciate the research you've done for us!
 
For those of us who have no where to stay, is it possible to crash at one of the places you guys are staying? You know, sleeping on the floor, etc.
Or am I just being silly?

Here's a question that makes the above comments useless:

When we fill in the Visa/Waiver form, are we allowed to put the Neverland address?

where are you coming from ? in a previous post, i've listed the countries that must apply to ESTA. There's also a thread about VISAS in the forum.

In my case, the info they asked about accomodation and stuff were NOT required, so I just didn't fill that part in, and it when fine, my access has been granted.

on the visa/waiver form is says it's optional to enter the address you are staying, doesn't it?

it's OPTIONAL to fill the part about where you plan to stay during the ESTA procedure. You have to apply RIGHT NOW, tomorrow it will be too late if you fly tomorrow !!!

You're welcome, I just hope some of us will meet and go together.

saztastic and MJ_UltiMate_Fan, you're both right.
Argh, I'm such a loser. I stressed myself out for nothing! lol
OK, just applied and got it approved.

That's what is driving me crazy. I want to be there for the funeral but can only afford (don't have many holidays left from work) to stay 2/3 nights.

If they sake the public wake etc is on Friday then how are we supposed to get there in time.
 
i gonna come with you guys too, but you should tell me what you gonna do .Are we gouing by bus or we're gonna rent a car ?

Looks like us two Aussies won't be able to make it after all. :(
I'm so sorry guys...
Thanks for all the patient and effort to help though. It's MUCH appreciated.
 
Friday is so soon and us embasy in russia said that they will probably make me traveler visa for 4 days. what i have to do? but i have to be there. to say goodbye. i'm not crazy but without him i can't see anything around. just darkness. if anyone else have problems to get there in time just write to me panther_mix@hotmail.com and maybe we can visit his grave at least to goodbye with our Angel :(
 
Friday is to soon, i mean i am from holland and it's just to expensive.

I sooo wish i could honor my/our King, but i guess i will be going later to Neverland, if it's opened for fans that is.
I wish everybody that can go, the most beautiful goodbye to our dear Michael!
