This thing is taking off - how many folks can you handle at your place?

Just so I can figure out a couple of contingency plans.
What's the approximate driving time from Oakland Airport to your place? - would probably be Saturday mid-morning traffic from Oakland, Then late afternoon/early evening traffic back to the airport.
I'm guessing there are some hotels reasonably close to your place in case I end up driving where I can get a room Saturday night? (how far are you from Fairfield)
About the only thing I think I could bring hardware-wise would be an RSA Haley - no biggie if I drive, more of a concern if I fly. Can you picture getting that through carry-on?

Would hesitate to check it.
