Driving.  It's roughly a 4 hour drive.  However, I think we're going to make some stops along the way for fun type stuff.   ;D

It's about a 90 minute drive for me...but I'll be coming from work. So, that might cut out about 30 minutes.

I will variously be walking, taking light rail, getting a ride from a friend, or not bothering, depending on what I'm feeling like and what's going on for a given day of the con.

I'm taking the train. Did it last year and I'm doing it again this year. Then when I reach the station, I'll take Light Rail all the way to the contention center.

14ish hour drive from Arizona, haha. It's not as bad as it sounds when you have good travel buddies and a giant Moogle head in the back seat XD

4-5 drive from the Mendocino coast. I've done it the same way every year that I've gone. Nothing special, I just make super nifty remixes and sing along, and before I know it, I'm there.

Ironically, my longest drive wont be GOING TO Fanime...but picking up a friend from the Fremont BART station. Then back to my house overnight...then 20 minutes or so to the convention. After that, hotel room! Pretty much same as TC_X0_Lt_0X

It is cheaper, but lugging all my stuff on the rail isn't fun. Plus i'm giving my friends ride back.

Driving up from Santa Barbara with my sister and possibly an interesting conglomeration of released-form zanpakutou and vicious demon-piggy in the back seat.  XD  I think it took a little over four hours last year, with a brief stop along the way for lunch, but not sure how it'll go this time around.  Do know I'll be doing the driving, though.

My brother's still got two months to finish that teleporter, but if it's not done by the time he graduates ... *fist-shaking*

Walk a few blocks to the Light Rail station, spend less than a half-hour on the train before it reaches the Convention Center station :D
