@mariad1958 It's about 400 miles. Driving may be impacted by weather, or time of day, or if there are co-drivers. A lot may depend on what the transplant team tells your sister. How far away do they want her to be? Once she has information, she can better make decisions. Are there friends or family members who are nearby? Remember, she will need to be there near the transplant center for about 30 days after the transplant procedure.

@gingerw we will be renting an Airbnb for 5-6 weeks.

They haven't told us how long she has to get to Mayo Clinic from Los Angeles. I am just trying to tentative plan ahead, already have a few co-drivers and keep logs of reg Southwest airline flights.

Just trying to find a post that indicates how long from when you get called with a kidney offer, they give to her to hospital.
