Flying High or Driving Slow?
Now, the real question is: are you a flight risk or a road warrior?
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.

- By Plane: You're looking at around a 5-hour flight, give or take. Perfect if you're impatient or just really hate driving. Plus, you get to enjoy those tiny airplane snacks (which, let's be honest, are the real reason people fly).
- By Car: Well, if you've got all the time in the world (and a really comfortable car), you could drive. It'll take you about 40 hours, and you'll probably see some interesting stuff along the way. Just remember to pack snacks, drinks, and a whole lot of podcasts.
California or Bust?
Before you book that flight or hit the road, let's talk about what you're actually going to do in California. Are you a beach bum, a culture vulture, or an adrenaline junkie? Knowing your priorities will help you decide which part of the state to visit.
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
Pro Tip: Don't forget about time zones! California is typically 3 hours behind Jacksonville, so adjust your watch accordingly. And remember, "California time" is a real thing, so don't be surprised if people are a little relaxed about punctuality.
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
