That's a very right answer. But I would like to consider what it takes when you have 14 hours on a plane,baggage to carry,cars to drive,money to gamble,shopping to do,burgers to eat.......

Your LV Sub will enjoy all those activities. I'd bring it along for the adventure! Let it get out and see the world

I travel quite often on 14.5 hour flights (San Francisco to Hong Kong as an example) and frequently bring a Sub ! Enjoy your trip and most of all, enjoy California !

Sub LV will survive earthquakes, floods, forest fires (longer than I would while I'm wearing mine) and makes you look soooo good wearing it.

My recommendation?

Your GMT-IIC, so you can track the timezone change, and the local time. Oh, and if you're visiting the coastline, you're going to need to pack your Sub, with maybe an SD as backup. Casual day trips? A Pepsi GMT for sure. For dinners out, you'll need a nice DJ. While in CA, you are going to have to splurge on a really nice night out, so only a gold Day-Date will do. To maintain everything, you're going to need to pack a multi-winder from Orbita, and a couple of travel cases to protect everything. You don't want to have to be winding anything, do you? Make sure to pad everything in your packing so nothing gets damaged.

No room for clothes? Where are your priorities? Once in CA, you can always buy clothes, underwear, toothpaste while you're there...right?

maybe you'll win enough in vegas to buy a new wrist-cronometer?
