Aloha littleboat,
Thats quite a "walk-a-bout" you've got going there.
You'll want to check out expedia.com or one of the other flight sites to see how much and see what will work best for you. Flying out of LA X seems to be less expensive most of the time.
Train? Well, it's about 10 hours, 52 minutes driving
or 685.35 miles to the train depot in St. Paul, MN. I don't know what time time frame is via train.
The Satuurday group healings aren't done anywhere but in your own location, wherever you are...so you don't need to make the trip just for those! 
You could attend a SFQ International Guild Meeting while you were here. Their next meetings are:
April 8, 2006
April 22, 2006
May 13, 2006
May 27, 2006
June 10, 2006
Most are held at the Spring Forest Healing Center at
6311 Wayzata Blvd.
St. Louis Park, Minnesota, 55416
US
(952) 593-5555
That's the number you'd call to set up an in-person healing when here too. They are booked pretty quickly, so call ahead.
Information regarding the Guild next meeting, including date, time and location are available on the Guild Information Phone Line at 952-736-6501.
