Probably. It's tiny(ish).

I mean get tipsy/drunk quickly and cheaply in the hotel room, then go to the bar with friends and slowly drink there to sustain your "happiness" for the majority of the evening.

Starting to think maybe 4 weeks?? Not sure. The girl I'm going over with has said she wants to go to New Orleans, and so would I as my mate said it was a great place. Plus I would love to see some jazz bands there. Is it a lot different now since the hurricane? I also heard there are like two distinct sections of the city?

You might as well just rent a car and save yourself all the airfare then if you're going to bounce around so much.

Yeah I know, already have that planned for part of it. At the moment just feeling it all out first before making any concrete plans (other than Vegas). More feedback/advice I get the better, you guys have been really helpful.

SF to LA is 80 for a flight and 30-40 for gas dependent on fuel efficiency. Since he doesn't own a car, though, you'd have to factor in the cost of renting one, which would probably eat up the difference.

Well because I am now with a couple other people we'll have to discuss it.
Both have their pros and cons.

Flying:
Pros - quicker travel time, more convenient
Cons - more expensive, can be frustrating with delays

Driving:
Pros - as a group it's cheaper, it can also be a good way to see the country
Cons - can take up a lot more time, which in itself can be frustrating


Dunno, have to think about this one. We are planning on driving from SF to LA though.

We're planning on taking a few days, stopping in at Santa Cruz and a couple other places on the way. The girl I'm going with has done that drive before all the way down to San Diego, said it was awesome.

It's probably too long to drive to/from New Orleans. If we started there it would probably work, but we're most likely starting in Vegas. Looks like New Orleans will be the flown part of the trip.
