Very true. SLC Back in 2007-8 was 3 year upgrade into SLC.. Things always change. And im sure will change again...

9/26 as in a class date 2ish weeks ago?
A lot people end up making the drive, so I'd say you could probably get away with not having your car up there and carpooling with some of your classmates. Some people end up renting a car for a portion of their stay, which actually ends up being cheaper than making the drive, which is something to consider as well. Welcome aboard.

Assuming you mean 10/26 class. Its a long drive from down there but if you're up for a 10-12 hour drive to have a little extra personal comfort then by all means do it! Also I'll be in your class so I'm hoping you do bring your car ha!

Carpooling is dependent on who your friends are, and how many folks have cars. I would just drive up from SD, you can do it one day. Time it to arrive in Temecula about 1000 and you'll miss inland empire am traffic, and beat pm rush hour in LAS. Take the 215 in inland empire.

Driving will likely be cheaper than renting anyway, especially if you do sim in SLC.

Cool

My thought regarding driving was that I would be able to pack more crap in my car to accommodate my old man spoiled way of living easier. But I will certainly consider your thoughts, Much appreciate it.

Would some of you post the typical itinerary of the class please? I have that it starts at 8:00 every morning. Is this 7 on 7 on till completed or are there breaks. Not that I have much to come back to other then making sure the dog is fed. Just trying to plan a little around a small business. Also, do you guys just stock up Khakis and polos since no denim is allowed?Any alternatives to Khakis? (just saw the additional replies above, Thank you)

I see that the laundry facilities are free. Is there much time for stuff like that? Have visions of Boot camp again. Any additional info from you guys in the system is much appreciated. Have put this off for a lot of years and want to do it right. Thanks much..

Actually looking to take two days. I'll stop in Vegas for the night. Seems about the halfway point.

[QUOTE=Flightsoffusion;1986579 Also, do you guys just stock up Khakis and polos since no denim is allowed?Any alternatives to Khakis? [/QUOTE]

I also want to know this. I have a couple khaki/dress pants with a couple dress shirts/polo and thinking I won't have enough with out wearing the same shirts a couple times a week. My last email said white shirt and dark tie are required for first 2 days but say nothing about type of pants... what do they consider a dark tie to be zero pattern or some pattern?
