  • 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
Thx for the info and yeah I'd say dirving is NOT the way to go.

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.
LIRL!!!
