An overnight trip on a ferry is an alternative to a five hour flight?


A five hour flight?


Maybe after you figure in all the flying BS. Is an hour 15 minute flight
from the bay area to LAX. By the time you figure in the trip to the
airport, the parking and waiting for a shuttle, and the 1.5 hr minimum
time for checkin you may be looking at 4 hours.


That's exactly why we decided to drive to Disneyland instead of fly come
April. It'll cost us about 2 more hours and save over $1000.
