The wiki?

Plenty in there to get you started so folks don't have to go over old ground or stuff you've done.

Thing is, at a week to go, probably no point as it's all too late to do anything meaningful.

Calabasas is bloody hot; I'm a couple of miles down the road and it is forecast to hit 100 on Saturday so get ready to roast.

Other than that, enjoy: this part of the Valley is a great environment though the traffic on the 101 and 405 is a nightmare pretty much all the time. I commute into LA via the 101/405 and it takes a good hour in stop-start traffic each way: bit like the M25 but with better scenery and more sunshine though the drivers here are awful: be careful!

If you like to shop there are some nice ones in Calabasas and a large mall in Woodland Hills. You are 20ish minutes from Malibu which is lovely.

Good luck and enjoy!
