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
