DeDe, Corning is on I-5 about 2 hours north of m here in the SF Bay Area. (My aunt and uncle live in Bayliss, Glenn County, just outside of Willows.)
It would be about an 8 or 9 hour drive to get from Corning to SoCal (more or less depending where, exactly, csula2004 would like to meet).
Sidrah, San Diego is VERY South, just north of Tiajuana at the Mexican border. (Pretty area, great school district, fabulous animal-type-places.)
Here's to real life meetings and our continued success!
