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.

When my older daughter graduated from Long Beach State. We spent the night
at a hotel by LAX to fly home the next morning. Younger daughter stayed
there also and was driving home. She slept in and we went to the airport
for find our SWA flight delayed. When we were turning corner to our house,
out daughter was driving up the street. 5 hour airline delay.
