So, anyone going?
Added on May 13, 2008, 12:46 pmOld Calculations. With the ringgit being lower now, probably less. Last time I did the calculations, it was based on USD1 = RM3.60
US Visa : USD100 / RM360
Ticket per pax : USD 100 / RM360
Hotel per night (across the street) : USD 100 / RM 360 so 4 days (1 day arrive, 2 days convention, 1 day pack and ciao) is USD 400 / RM 1440
Air Ticket to LAX : RM5,000 with MAS
Transportation between LAX & Hotel : USD42 / RM151 so 2 way is USD84 / RM302
Food @ USD25 / RM90 a day? So 4 days is USD 100 / RM360
Total is approximately : RM 7822 / USD 2173.
