To be honest, the travel time isn't a massive factor, it only adds a  
few hours, going to the US is a commitment regardless of the coast.   
Also, I can adjust to the timezone to quite a decent margin of error  
by sleeping on flights, although I'm aware many people find that  
difficult.  For me the only issue is flight costs, as I'm still a  
student I can only work part time, and that doesn't leave me much  
spreadin' around money; best case scenario for flight costs leaves the  
east-coast about $100 cheaper, but often they're a lot closer.

So, my criterion is "near a large international airport" for the  
getting of cheap flights, rather than blanket east-coast.
