So You Want to Ditch the Fog for Aloha, But How Far is the Escape?
Let's face it, San Francisco is pretty darn cool. But hey, even coolness can get old after a while, especially when you're surrounded by enough fog to knit a sweater. And what better cure for the fog blues than a Hawaiian getaway? But before you book your mai tai and ukulele lessons, there's one crucial question: just how far is paradise from those pesky sea lions?
Turns Out, Paradise Isn't Exactly Around the Corner
Don't get us wrong, Hawaii isn't exactly on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. We're talking a bit of a trek. Buckle up, because here's the lowdown:
- As the crow flies (or the seagull glides): You're looking at a cool 2,300-ish miles (or 3,700 kilometers). That's a whole lotta Pacific Ocean separating you from those sandy beaches.
- By plane (the preferred method unless you have a superpowered catamaran): Flights take around 8 hours, so you can be sipping a Mai Tai on the beach by dinnertime (assuming you leave at a decent hour).
But Wait, There's More! Fun Facts About the San Francisco-Hawaii Distance
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
- Did you know: San Francisco is roughly the same distance from Hawaii as it is from... drumroll please... Miami, Florida! So, if you're torn between beaches and palm trees, well, the choice is yours!
- Bonus fact: If you packed a pedometer and decided to walk to Hawaii, well, let's just say you'd better pack some serious snacks (and maybe a boat for those occasional water breaks).
