That happened to me planning France and Scotland this past year. You'd think I'd know better by now.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Planning our trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland is hilarious. The WHOLE ISLAND is only 304 miles long! That’s less than the distance between LA and San Francisco!

This is why Javachik and I need to go again, but this time see ALL THE THINGS.

Shir, I filled out the info on the Google doc. Drew and I are excited to drive you from LA to SF (and megan walker, you’re welcome to join us!); we haven’t done it in years, and it’s gorgeous. And we may have to stay overnight at the Madonna Inn: [link] and see Hearst Castle: [link] on the way.
MW recommends both highly.

Yes, I do. And conveniently located at the halfway point.
When the time comes, I will thank Shir for getting you both up here (finally)!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
K. and I are planning our Ireland trip now, too, and I keep reminding myself we can drive the length of the whole country in one day including pit stops; we have plenty of time to go everywhere we want to. America really is huge. Canada too: We're planning a trip to Alaska for next year, and I was shocked to realize how long it would take to drive to Juneau from Seattle (like 5 days). North America, man.

Shir, another way to look at it is that Israel is a really tiny country. I believe it could comfortably fit into most German or French provinces. (Well, give the history of France and Germany vs. a vs. us Jews, the fit would not actually be comfortable.)

However, Los Angeles/Orange County is almost the same size as Israel. I think.
Not quite, but close. Combined LA and Orange county is a bit less than 6000 square miles. Israel is about 8000 square miles. However if you look at just the population of Los Angeles county, it's just short of 10,000,000, while Israel is just over 8,000,000.
You'd have to add in the Inland Empire (Riverside County) to really get that, but then that's all the way to the eastern border of the state and alone is, over 7,000 square miles.
Still, just driving around in Southern California, you're looking at covering distances quite a bit greater than all of Israel.
