Tanja,
You like Madonna? Oh you poor baby...
She's so much yesterday's news...
LA sounds like your best bet for several reasons.
1) Yes, it is a hub airport with frequent flights to everywhere else in the
USA.
2) San Jose is 36 miles south of San Francisco airport, and
500 miles north of LA. You could fly Atlanta to San Francisco, then
fly back to LA for departure, but I'll bet they charge you extra for that
500 miles.
Regards, Bob S.

BTW, back on topic (well, kinda), it looks like I may be extending my US
trip by a few days. (I reaaaaaally want to see the Madonna Concert whilst I
am over there! Don't laugh, I'm serious! I love her!). I have the choice of
a ticket either at the Forum in LA (one single crappy seat) on either the 24
or 25 May (so was thinking that I'd leave for the US a day earlier than I
had originally planned) OR in San Jose, California, on the 8 June (so I
would be returning to Australia one day later - tickets haven't gone on sale
yet, so I should be able to get pretty good seats). Can someone tell me -
what sort of distance is it from LAX to San Jose? What sort of travel
options are available? Are there any PDML'ers in or around San Jose? If I
brought it forward (to the 25 May), would this suit any LA PDML'ers? What
would be the best choice of areas to book accomodation that is close to the
Forum Stadium in LA? Or would closer to the airport be better? Do domestic
flights fly out of LAX or is there a different airport I would need to make
my way to to fly to NYC from LAX? What about in San Jose - any suggestions
for the best place to stay that is near the HP Pavillion?
