My sons will be Grandparents before the new Bay Bridge gets finished. Their kids are 6 and 8 years old.
I believe that it took between 4 & 6 years to get the freeways abd ramps taken care of after the LP quake. It was a major journey to get to the Oakland Airport or SFO from the EBay or N Bay. The smart airlines started adding flights from Sac and San Jose.
It was so bad, that I told relatives and friends who flew out. If they landed at Oakland or SFO, instead of Sacramento, they had to rent a car or take limos to and from the airport to our house. A couple of these dear ones thought I was a real bastard until they rented cars and spent more time getting from these airports to our home than their cross country flights.
Gonna change your handle to Great-Grampa Dave? I’m in Vallejo and commute to Sonoma so this won’t affect me at all. Where are you located?
