As long as we meet somewhere close to the 405, I think that's fine. If the Carson caravan has to go onto the 22 or another freeway, it's not a straight route to Tijuana's, which is off the 405.

That Starbucks you proposed is off the 5 freeway, so we'd be going sideways.

If anything, we should meet at the Spectrum and just take side streets to the meet from there. The Spectrum is where the 5 and the 405 meet. That way, neither caravan has to stray too far off course to meet up with another caravan. Just my 2 cents.

Well, Southbay caravan is scheduled to meet up at 930am. I'm thinking the caravan takes off from Ikea around 10am.

Although, I know people may end up driving with a led foot, which I don't intend on doing, so I'd say that a realistic time for everyone to get there would be 1045am.

Did we ever establish where we're meeting the Diamond Bar caravan at, at the Spectrum?

Somebody who knows the Spectrum pick a place to meet up.
