. I love Carlsbad and really any area along the ocean is awesome. Carlsbad with no traffic would be hour and a half.. With traffic that will be longer. You could fly to LAX from Palomar airport too. Maybe on the days you really don't feel like driving.. It is definitely doable from either city.. Living in a beach community it definitely a big perk! Living in paradise!!

Yep,
Both Carlsbad and Temecula are easily drivable and allow you to sit short-call at home. 99% of LAX shortcall call-outs are for the next day or possible a morning call for a red-eye that night. Now you always have to be ready for a short notice call-out, but with no snow, thunderstorms, ice, and very rarely IMC - it is normally not as hectic as NYC or ATL.
A bonus on the 7ER is SNA trips which are great for the SD or Orange county guys but will not help you out in Temecula. The 91 (or State hwy 91 in non-SOCAL lingo) is usually a disaster going/coming from Temecula but plenty of guys make it work.
Good luck.
