How far is the drive? The Jet Blue flight is only $60.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
NYistas -- need a good place to take a bunch of students and parents. good with large groups, not too expensive.
What neighborhood? How kitchy are you willing to get? (Like, I remember going to Jekyll and Hyde Club on class trips in high school, but it might be overly themey.)

The drive is 350+ miles by the shortest route, which is also the very, very boring route.
The pretty drive up the coast is longer, beautiful and not a good choice if you suffer from motion sickness.

The status is NOT quo.
The drive takes 6-8 hours. Definitely without a DOUBT have them take the plane. Caveat, though--it is much less hassle to go from Burbank (BUR) to Oakland (OAK) than from LAX to SFO. BART will take them from Oakland into SF. Las I checked Jet Blue doesn't do that route, but Southwest does.

BTW, this is me we're talking about. I'm taking Jet Blue. I thougth I could do Long Beach to Oakland? For some reason, they don't go Burbank to Oakland.

There is a Long Beach-Oakland flight. Whether that would work for you is mostly a question of how hard it would be to get to Long Beach, which I have no idea about.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
The time it takes to get to Long Beach from the city is mitigated by the fact that it's the BEST AIRPORT EVER. It's where I always fly into when I go to SoCal.
That being said, I just drive from L.A. to San Francisco. But I'm like that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
By the time you add in security, the drive is not much shorter, especially if you drive like I do, and I think you probably do, Vortex.
Also, what Juliana said.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Long Beach is awesome. There were zero people in front of me at the security gate the time I flew out of there.
