Plane tickets or driving

[Hulud]

flying

think of it this way:

• it takes about 35 hours give or take to drive out there (one way)
• its aprox 5038 miles round trip, so lets say you get 30mpg thats ~168 gallons of gas. we will go with the national avg of 2.35 right now for the cheap shit. so itll cost ya $394.80 in gas alone.
• not to mention hotels for the 2 nights you will be staying, lets say you get a room for $50 each nite, thats another $100
• not to mention time off work that you could be making money 4 days of work making 15 is $480 you are losing
• and lets not forget food, say 5 bucks a meal 5 x 6 is $30
• last but not least god forbid something happens to your car like break down or some shit $$$unknown

ok so lets weigh the costs of each

plane ticket - $382

driving - $1004.80 (including lost wages if you're making $15/hr)

and dont forget the diminished value of your car due to miles put on by the trip

i only included 4 days of lost wages driving (although it will more than likely take you 6 days roundtrip) due to the fact that flying you will lose a day of wages as well each way

[man]

[*]not to mention time off work that you could be making money 2 days of work at 40hrs making 15 is $1200 you are losing

Ya lost me right here, how does $15/hr for 2 days equate to 1200?

I was kind of wondering how someone goes about working 40hrs in one day.

No. Think of it this way:

A travel agent, Hulud is not.

So do not listen/read anything about what he says/types about flying.

And about his thoughts on the driving aspect? He drives a Miata. Do you want advice on a road trip from someone who drives a Miata? Seriously? Later, QD.
