Re: Los Angeles meet up
HotScot...... I'm in Rosamond, this place is the worst I've ever been!!! I've been here for over a year and I can not wait to leave. Husband is US military so works on the base, that darn marriage ring, I had to come here
Is your wife a Brit? We have two young kids, 9 months and 3 years. There is absolutely nothing to do this valley!!!

Re: Los Angeles meet up
Sorry but I really think you ought to be seeing it for yourself! I mean, people can offer to have a look for you, but there might be some reason why you don't like what they consider to be fine. Not just the property but stuff like traffic, local amenities/shopping/restaurants. Certainly never sign a rental agreement sight unseen.
$500 for one of you to fly here for a scout around could save you more than that by moving to the right place the first time around. If you post something in the main USA forum there are several LA people who can help with general areas and commutes.

Re: Los Angeles meet up
I would just turn up at one of the many British pubs or join the BritsInLA facebook group (though they are mostly luvvies). I joined the LA Spurs (being that I am a Spurs fan) and have met some people - attend matches at various pubs throughout the season. There are also groups for other football teams.
You are quite a way out - I live and work in the city - you are about 90+ miles away - nice part of the world, though.

You apparently didn't read the post to which he was replying!
Edit: Above United Airlines link isn't working; perhaps, try this:

Yeah, the poster mentioned Ohio. Last September I didn't have to look hard to find Delta flights from LA to Chicago for about $400.

Re: Los Angeles meet up
So I've been here exactly 8 weeks, and the wife and kids a couple of weeks, so maybe it's time to meet some Brits. Though having said that, one did sell me a printer in Staples a couple of days ago.
I've no idea how these things go - do people just meet up in a bar or something? We have kids in tow so if somebody knows a kid-friendly place I'm all ears! I guess somewhere within several miles of downtown LA to make it central. After all, everybody's got cars, right?!

Re: Los Angeles meet up
I've just moved to Walnut so am a bit closer to downtown. Van Nuys is only an hour away too.
