ok, so give it a try
but if you have a cold, or didn't sleep well or ever feel rushed...don't fly.
you are a novice pilot...flying can still lead to a tragic accident and the traffic in the sky can delay or collide with you.
will you have cars at both airports?
and don't fall for traps like doing the pre flight the night before!
you want to have flying in your life...you can afford it, but don't think for a second it makes economical sense.
a short flight in socal airspace may put you in some real situations of mid air collision.
oh, and get a piper, not a c172
