Travel Note
We did our best to pick a hotel and venue that’s easy to get to by public transit or from the airport—but we know it’s not super straightforward, so thanks for rolling with it! Depending on your plans/budget, you could skip a rental car and get around with Uber or Lyft 😊. Rides from Los Angeles or San Diego can be a bit pricey ($120+), while John Wayne Airport will be more affordable. Trains can also get you close to the hotel, though you’ll still need an Uber or Lyft from the San Juan Capistrano station. If you’re thinking about this option, reach out—we’d be happy to help!
