If you have the flexibility to start at 7am 40 minutes sounds about right.
If you are starting between 8am and 9am you can lose some time in Escondido (78->15 gets bad), around Poway rd on I15 and before 15/163 split.[/quote]
I would be leaving by 6:30 every day. Right now I commute from Encinitas to my work in Tierrasanta and it takes 20 mins. From SM do you think it would take about 30-35 mins?
