Question Travelling to Anaheim CA - few questions

Dear Friends, this year, as a part of our family business, we will visit Anaheim convention center in January. We will arrive there after 14 hours of direct flight from Istanbul.

As far as i know LAX to Anaheim is not close. So i need to reach there first at evening times.

Are you familiar to the area? How to reach our hotel in Orange?

Then i will ask more Thanks in advance.

LAX to Orange is about 40 miles and a 45 minute drive. Take Interstate 405 South to the Highway 22 East

The OC Bus system works well and they are all over the cities. Just input where you are and where you need to go and it will set up a route for you. Here is the link:

i am home again. it was tiring to reach there by plane. it was 13 hours direct flight! I saw antartica beneath our wings. it was awsome.

thanks for information again. i managed to reach my hotel and visited convention center there.

huge problem in that area is the taxi system. you need to call a cab and they wont appear at least 20 minutes!

i saw lots of V8 trucks there and almost no Jeeps. do everybody need heavy duty trucks in that region?
