We waited around San Luis Obispo until about 11 waiting on fog, but that gave me time to review the Los Angeles terminal area chart for a VFR route through all the airspace, which was fruitless. But it also gave us time to visit Jake's favorite coffee shop.
I asked SoCal to let me through the B airspace, and they just said to squawk some code and "stay clear of the B" so we went around. Later a different controller gave me a vector into French Valley under the B and was really helpful. He laughed when he called to offer to cut me loose and I said "I'd really rather have help making sure I stay clear of the B".
On into Temecula was no sweat, but a bit breezy. We got a decent hotel for $75 and a car for $32... expected it to be a lot more expensive.
We had dinner in Temecula at a Bank converted to a restaurant.
The Uncle of my friend at work used to own downtown Temecula and live in this bank building. He used this vault as a walk-in closet.
