West coast BJJ trip

What up guys? I'm from NY, train at Serra BJJ on Long Island. I'm planning a trip to the west coast to train at some of the best gyms in the world. After training a few sessions at Marcelo Garcia's Academy in Manhattan, I've had a real eye opener to the different levels of jiu jitsu that are possible and the different philosophies that exist in different schools. I can't think of anything more fun or more beneficial to me than to travel around training jiu-jitsu. Schools I have in mind to visit were Atos San Diego, Paragon (either Santa Barbara or Ventura, maybe both), and of course 10th Planet HQ. But, I definitely want to see more.



What I ask of you; first off 10th planet drop-in protocol? Other gyms you think I should hit while I'm out there? Any input about any BJJ trips you guys have taken, and experiences you've had training at other schools, please share.
And tell me any other cool shit I should do while I'm in Cali.
Thanks for your time and input! much appreciated

Are you at the east meadow or hunington school? Matt's good people, tell him Alder said what up. You're always welcome at 10th planet Van Nuys.

Please fit Riverside 10th Planet into your schedule. Bollinger and Fields are awesome instructors, and everyone is always very helpful.
