I am from a country you can cross in 6 hours in a car and that's considered a long drive

You can't even cross Texas in 6 hours unless it's the Panhandle.

I'd say if you wanted to mix it up, a bus would get you around the general regions okay (East Coast, Midwest, South, West Coast), but you'd want flights between them.

Hah, yes, shir, good to have--I still remember the time I showed up in Korea and didn't know where I was staying or my friend's phone number or where she lived, and they were very skeptical.

Also, Typo, I literally have no idea what you're talking about with the Seattle airport. What makes it inconvenient?? There's light rail straight to the airport. Better than many, trust me.

Yes our country is freaking huge. Probably the least convenient place you're going to visit is Kansas. Everything else is in bunches like New York-Boston-Philadelphia, Portland-Seattle, Chicago-Madison-Detroit-Minneapolis, San Diego-LA-San Francisco If you're visiting San Diego I highly recommend taking the light rail from San Diego to LA. Then maybe you can hook up with some LA peeps who are keen to visit 'ffistas in Frisco (btw they hate it when you call it that) because the drive from LA to San Francisco is one of the most beautiful we can offer.

The content of my email box and your answers to the spreadsheet make me tear sometimes. You guys are really the bestest, nicest people, and I'm lucky to know you.

Also, thanks for the travelling tips.

Oh! Schedule permitting, we would totally be game to drive from LA to SF! We'd have to rent a car though. Drew and I would want to fly back.

And Shir, just the drive between LA and SF can take 8 or more hours, to give you a sense. If we take the coastal route, which is preferable, longer than that. When we did it, we stayed overnight halfway to break it up.

You may want to model your trip after the Nilly trip, during which we had F2Fs across the country to see her. I always say "Atlanta! Choose Atlanta!" but I am kind of an outlier in Buffistaland. However, Atlanta has the world's busiest airport, and we say around here that when you die, whether you're going to heaven or hell, you'll have to change planes in Atlanta.

A size reminder: 5.7 Israels would fit in the state of Georgia alone.

Seattle airport is super easy! And no more expensive than any other airport on the west coast coming from the east coast (on Southwest at least).

Happy travel planning, Shir!!! I recommend Baltimore, of course!

OK, added info to google drive. Hoping it saved...

I'd definitely take SeaTac over LAX any day of the week.

I'm convinced that LAX was designed by Satan during a flare up of his IBS.
