Hi Todd,

Looking forward to seeing you in April!
BTW, April 16 is my birthday.
Looks like we need to schedule a BayLUG/BayLTC meeting for
Saturday April 26th!

Yes, its about 640 miles from Portland to SF. It takes
about 10 hours in a car with minimal stops, so 16 hours on
a bus is not riduculous. Try Southwest airlines from
Portland to either Oakland or San Jose. Sign up on their
website for the email specials, www.iflyswa.com

In general cross country open-jaw fares, like Bos to
Portland and then SF back to Bos are more expensive than 3
legs booked together.

I found several 3-leg flight fares on expedia.com for less
than $425 on Northwest for all 3. But most leave very early
in the morning.

Southwest flys from Providence to Portland as well, but has
stops. Their round trip fare is about 450, but doesn't
include the SF part.

if I can squeeze in a visit to the PNLTC show in Portland

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.
