Choosing Your Fresno-Mobile: A Wheel-y Important Decision
Flying: The swiftest steed! But be warned, those tiny airplane seats might leave you feeling like a pre-Thanksgiving turkey. Plus, Fresno's airport (affectionately nicknamed "The Gateway to Kings Canyon National Park" by exactly zero people) isn't exactly LAX.
Driving: Buckle up, buttercup! This option offers road trip revelry, singalongs at the top of your lungs, and the freedom to stop for roadside oddities (giant cow statues, anyone?). Just remember, Fresno is in California, and California means traffic. heavy sigh
Bus: The frugal friend! Affordable and eco-friendly, but be prepared to become intimately acquainted with your fellow passengers (hopefully they're friendly!). Fun fact: did you know a game of "spot the celebrity lookalike" can provide hours of entertainment on a long bus ride?
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
Train: All aboard the choo-choo to Fresno! Scenic views? Check. Relaxing legroom? Maybe (depends on the ticket class). Just be sure to pack some snacks, train food can be a gamble.
Hitchhiking: For the truly adventurous (or incredibly broke). This option requires a certain degree of panache and a good sense of humor (which, if you're reading this guide, you clearly possess). Just remember, safety first!
Important Note: While hitching is an option, we at the Fresno Funny Travel Guide don't recommend it for everyone. We also cannot be held liable for any questionable pick-up lines or awkward silences that may ensue.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.

- Anything with "I Heart San Francisco" on it: Fresno has its own pride, and it doesn't involve sourdough bread.
