I Demand Spring Break!

[ase]

Did you know that, if you fly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, you can get a nonstop IAD* to LAX flight for $207? And that I don't have class on April 8th?

*Dulles is a 20 minute drive from dad's.

So theoretically, I could fly out on the 8th, and take a red-eye home on the 14th, and rent a car so I can personally experience LA traffic, and incidentally see my sister in Irvine and other people in Santa Barbara without Adventures in L. A. Mass Transit.

But this is all highly tentative, as I am still pricing out the damage. Maybe I will get a car part of the time? Maybe I will blow it all off and see what the NC Outer Banks off-season is like? (Beach. I burn with longing to have sand stuck between my toes, but if I'm going off-season, October makes more sense than April.) Or rent a car in the DC metro area and do a road trip through Shenandoah National Park? I want a break, but I don't want to break the bank.

ETA: Forgot the really important question, and now I can't fix the poll: who would be interesting in seeing me?

See, if you came north, I might be able to finagle a trip to SF. C'mon, San Jose has the computer museum! It's geektastic.

In LA, if you must go to smogland (although it's improved a lot over the years), you could visit Venice Beach for the overall weirdness, the LaBrea Tar Pits (cool!), LACMA (LA Co. Museum of Art), DLand, SeaWorld, wander around Westwood (UCLA), the observatories (the name of the one off of I-5 just zipped out of my brain), meander over to the LASFS clubhouse and geek with fen, avoid downtown LA, enjoy the San Diego beaches....

I like SF, so I know I'll get back there eventually. Since I haven't seen my sister since December '07, I think I need to see her, and she is not in SF. I brandish the family obligation flag!

meander over to the LASFS clubhouse and geek with fen,

Okay. Considering the Recent Events, there's a good reason to run away from all cities where I might be expected to interact with fandom.

LASFS is... very white and male. In my experience. And smelly.
