to go or not to go ...

All my friends in south Florida observe Yom Kipur and fast. I don't so to escape the imposed boredom of having nothing to do because everyone around me are fasting and doing nothing I decided to fly to San Francisco for a long weekend (one that started on Wednesday night). On the way to San Francisco I learned that there's an air race sponsored by Red Bull in San Diego. Obviously it's the kind of events that one doesn't get much of a chance to see twice in his life, unless he makes plans for it and invests an arm and a leg in going somewhere around the world to see them ... So I'm sitting in my friends house contemplating how I'm getting from San Francisco to San Diego to see the air race. Actually I'm passed the point of contemplating weather I should go or not. I want to go, but the issue now is: cost: Flying is too expensive and renting a car to drive there is barely affordable. So the question at hand of to be or not to be (going) is up in the air and since it is a crazy idea to just go there (700 miles, ~1000 KM away) just for a few hours and 1 event. Time for decisions ... I'm not going to ask for yours because I know everyone I know would pass and answer: I wouldn't go. But there won't be another race in the US. The next one is in Perth Australia and I don't think Red Bull will sponsor one next year (they are notorious for stopping sponsorships the moment that they feel it has become mundane).

The decision has been made: I'm going. Anyone wants to join?
