Travel Note
RV Rentals
If you want to stay up on the event site, you can have an RV delivered on Saturday and picked up on Monday morning. Due to the nature of logistics, we recommend anyone traveling in from out of town to have their RV delivered rather than drive it up themselves. If you are interested in renting an RV to have up on the site, please reach out to Sara (sacredhands3@gmail.com or 805-637-1564) to make sure you are giving them the correct address, drop off and pick up time frames, and parking location onsite. There are NO HOOKUPS for RV's at Live Oak Campground.

Hopper
This is the website Sara ALWAYS uses to book flights and rent cars. It will find you the best deals across all airline companies, you can set alerts, and it's a nifty app you can download onto your phone. Highly recommend!
Flight
Santa Barbara Airport
The SB Airport is absolutely adorable. There are several airlines that can bring you straight here, and if you like the no fuss travel option, this is definitely it. You can rent a car and hop straight onto the highway, stop over at the beach, or have a bite to eat while waiting for your flight. It's the easiest airport you'll ever travel through. SB Airport is not international, so if you're flying from Canada (or the far east) there will be connections; try to book early so that you only have to deal with one!

Traveling to Santa Barbara - Flying into LAX
If you are flying into LAX, there are a few options for getting to SB. (1) The SB Airbus - https://www.sbairbus.com/ - set schedule, fixed price, guaranteed to get you to SB. There are 2 stops in the city (one in downtown SB and one in Goleta) and you can coordinate an Uber from either. (2) Amtrack - https://www.amtrak.com/home - a much better view than from the bus, cheaper too. There are also 2 stops in the city (one in downtown SB and one in Goleta). (3) Rent a car - there are a ton of rental options from LAX, and the drive to SB is scenic and under 3 hours (usually). Please note, there is a lot of construction along highway 101 and depending on when you drive there could be long delays. This also goes for driving back down to LAX. Check your Googlemaps/Waze timelines, and always plan for extra time to return the car.

Car Rentals
It is very easy to rent a car in Santa Barbara. If you're flying in, cars are available at the airport. There are also several locations in downtown SB, but if you want the most convenient pick up/drop off, the airport is your best bet. Use the Hopper app to secure the best deal!
