rvaccha - you have this same post under a different title in the Miles Buzz forum, with four responses. I suggest that anyone who wants to contribute do so there, and let this thread die.
I think it is important to figure out where best to post, and not to duplicate.
Just my 2 cents, and a belated welcome to you to the bored, sorry board. As one who is living quite close to SIN, hope you enjoy the region.
