thall1726 42 Posted November 18, 2012 So I live about 5 hours from San Diego and was think it maybe cheaper for me and my husband to drive . Has anyone ever drove to San Diego and if so , how was the ride??? Surgery is December 7th so I'm getting close:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyre_storm 1,412 Posted November 18, 2012 The drive would be cheaper but you'd have to stop ever hour or so to walk cause right after surgery blood clots may happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayByDay 123 Posted November 18, 2012 Also don't forget about the traffic. Depending on when you hit San Diego, it can take hours to get across the border depending on when you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5DogMa 62 Posted November 18, 2012 We drove from Sacramento and parked in long term parking at the San Diego airport where the driver for Dr. Garcia picked us up. Getting back to the airport didn't take so long because they have a pass that let's you go back through the border in a different lane than others and you bypass the long lines. It took us maybe 30 minutes to get back across the border, but I understand some days it may take longer. My daugher slept most of the way back home. She had minimal pain and tolerated the drive just fine. Just have pillows and blankets in the car and you should do fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
