Local know-how
North to Sacramento
SMF is the long option from Danville, but the drive is freeway the whole way and rarely jams after Martinez.
The slow part is usually I-680 through Walnut Creek in the morning; an early start avoids it.
Travellers sometimes fly out of SMF and back into OAK — we can book the two legs separately.
