How far are you traveling?

[djmonolith]

With so many people attending Fanime, we were curious about how far everyone is traveling. 

I will be making a whopping 1.9 mile journey to attend. 

Who will be traveling the longest distance?  Where are you from?

[Haunterluvcookies]

You have such a long journey! LOL I am coming from out of state, Arizona to be prescise. I live in the middle of Nowhere, I need some civilization. ;D

[mookiebear]

I'm taking light rail (:.

[Haunterluvcookies]

Most evweryone I know lives so close to the convention center! Why can't i live that close. :(

Not terribly far, but far enough -- I'm up in the Sacto area, so I have a good few hours drive ahead of me.

[Nikkiolie]

I'm coming from Portland Oregon, roughly 670 miles

[Reyak]

Train from Davis, but will be staying at my brother's place in SJ

[Haunterluvcookies]

Yay not the only person coming from out of state. :)

[Amanojaku]

Coming from up north in Paradise, California.  It is right next to Chico, and it takes roughly 2.5 - 3 hours to get to the convention center from here.  Even so, I have to come every year :)

[renalcul]

San Leandro, roughly 30 miles from the Convention Center. Hell, this year i'm commuting.

[SkylerKarashi]

lol, i gots it easy. im going over lightrail as well.

[DangerHeart]

Coming from Modesto with my group again this year. But our friend is flying over from Missouri for the first time ever this year to join us.

[Haunterluvcookies]

I used to live in Modesto! Wow there is a lot of people that live close by... I didn't think there was so many.

[mariotheotaku]

Coming all the way from Texas.

[Nina Star 9]

Wow! There are quite a few people coming from out of state. I've never traveled out of state for a con before, but I guess I'm lucky in that there are a number of cons in my state (even if most of them are 8+ hours away, down south -- I only go to NorCal cons, for the record ;) ).

I don't know if she traveled specifically for the con or if she was already here during the time of the con (on vacation, as an exchange student,  etc.), but last year, I met someone who lived in Finland. I think that's the furthest away that I've heard of someone coming to the con from! (as an attendee, not a guest, obviously)

I think I might have everyone beat. I'm flying in from Japan, so about 5500 miles. =P
I'm from San Jose though and my house is just a mile or so away from the Great Mall. Will be spending time with the fam after the con.

[Lucifargundam]

Half an hr. that's how far I am from the convention center.

I got a room 'cuz I'm lazy like that.

[limDsage]

I'm coming from San Mateo, so drive's not so bad. Still got a room though because I don't want to drive back and forth lol.

[Glitch]

An hour and a half away from Soledad.

I'm waiting for the international people to chime in. I know we had someone from England come in once. As well as someone from Canada that comes down every year.

[Fashwiing]

Just about 563 miles from Eugene, OR. So many props and people and costumes to stick in my car... Don't know if I'll have room.
