Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
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.
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)!
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.
This is why Javachik and I need to go again, but this time see ALL THE THINGS.
Man, I wanna go with you guys!!
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.)
I live in Connecticut, which is near New York, so happy to come down to meet up.
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.
Just logging in to say thank you, and that I saw new posts here and new emails I won't have the time to reply to till Monday or Tuesday. Sorry, I'm on a killer schedule, and the weekend's sadly over.
Hey, we get a Tom Scola tomorrow, right? I don't have the bandwidth to do anything before Saturday, or the brain power to do much planning, but I hope something will happen on the weekend!
I arrive late Wednesday; won't really be available until Thursday.
