There is a reason we are driving 900 miles for vacation rather than flying. Cost was only a part.
Same here. 1100 miles. To fly was just insane price wise, plus the headaches of getting a type 1 diabetic on the plane and the fact that the TSA would likely shoot me dead when they try to feel up our 8 year old girl because there is no way we are stepping in to the xray machine.
So it’s much safer (and cheaper) for us to just spend the money on gas and enjoy the sights along the way.
