Due to a planning hiccup in the transport office, I & my Cuban codriver Ivan are going to find ourselves at a loose end around the Riverside-Ontario area from Saturday lunchtime til Monday morning.

Any ideas for cheap amusement around there?

Drive out to the Santa Monica or Malibu beaches. Visit Disney, California adventure park, or Knotts Berry Farm (amusment park) in Anaheim (~45 minutes).

My wife and I just got back from our honeymoon to that area a few days ago. We drove up to Ontario from Anaheim to watch her cousin play little league ball. It was quite a bit hotter in the ontario area than near the coast.

If you like old airplanes go check out the Planes of Fame Air Museum at chino airport. About 30 minutes from Ontairo. If you're willing to drive a little farther you can check out and tour the USS Iowa battleship out by LA.

Go Karts!

more Go Karts!

Or just head for the beach, it's typically pretty hot and miserable out in that area, so just point the truck towards the water.

You could always sit in the motel room and watch old reruns of Gilligan's Island...

Company are only paying one night of hotel and satellite tracked so the beach is a nono too.
Redsox are playing the Angels so I might go to the ballpark though.

Now THAT's a plan! Sox are hurting, though...
Would love to see Mike Trout in action.

If it were down to me I would, but until I have my permanent residency I'm tied to the company for my work visa, so I have to be a good boy.

Anyway, we're in the TA truckstop at Ontario now, booked in the hotel next door which has a small outdoor pool & spa, & free wifi so I'm now on the laptop instead of the phone.

Afternoon game at Anaheim tomorrow so I'll see if I can get down for that, transport's the problem here, it's an evening game today & with the 3hr time difference I'll probably fall asleep before the 7th inning stretch.

You don't know the 1/16th of it, Innes. SoCal is a rider's Paradise complete with a drought for EVERY day riding, incredible twisties, and legal lane splitting. Now that you know what you're missing, you have incentive to come back in style.

Finally home after a loooong trip.

Finally ended up watching the game sunday afternoon in air-conitioned luxury at a sports bar. Which wasn't bad actuallyas the game was a bit flat after the 19 inning marathon the day before.

Any trip out would have entailed car rental & nobody else was interested to split the costs. I'll have to program a proper vacation down there sometime.

Thanks for your suggestions & support, & if your phone rings unexpectedly with a number you don't know, it may just be me, Cheers.
