Travel Note
Southern California is not up to New York standards public transportation wise, so Uber is your best bet getting around. You can also call Hannah to pick you up, but she hasn't driven in a few years. It's like riding a bike, right? There are also a lot of places to rent bikes.
House Or Rental
We recommend checking out the options on airbnb. There are lots of options available nearby in Corona del Mar for groups large and small. Balboa Island is also a great option for a fun, beach cottage in a quaint area. If you head inland, Costa Mesa and Irvine are also nice areas that would be a 15-20 minute uber drive away.

Flight
We recommend flying into the Long Beach Airport. It is smaller and less chaotic than LAX and only about 25 minutes from the venue. JetBlue has many direct flights there (enjoy some Terra Blue chips on the way).
Flight
LAX is also a great option to fly into. It is a 45-60 minute drive (depending on traffic/time of day/horoscope) to the venue and Ubers and shuttles are readily available. Maybe you'll see a movie star!
Flight
John Wayne doesn't have a ton of direct flights, but it is a very close option. It is only about a 10 minute drive to the venue from here.
