I'm planning to be in San Francisco the week of April 21-25 and am wondering if I can squeeze in a visit to the PNLTC show in Portland on April 17-19. According to the Greyhound website, I can get a bus from Portland to San Francisco on April 20 for $50, but it shows up as being a 16- or 20-hour busride. Is that right?!? Is it really that long of a drive? Any tips on finding good rates on one-way airfares? I'm contemplating the possibility of taking a one-way flight from Boston to Portland on April 16 and then a one-way flight back from San Francisco to Boston sometime the weekend of April 26-27. --Todd

		Re: Portland and San Francisco in April
(...) It is about 12 hours by car, so that sounds about right by bus. Amtrak also serves that route. Trains leave Portland at 2:25pm, arriving in Oakland at 8:35am and San Jose at 9:55am. Cost is $61. Sleepers are available starting at $139 (in (...) (22 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.loc.us.or.por, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

(...) Ok, it's official -- I found (thanks to tips from several folks) a three-legged trip fare at an attractive price, so it's a go! I leave Boston in the evening on the 16th and fly into PDX around 8am on the 17th. Then I'm in the Portland area (...)
