I forgot to mention in the previous post the fuel cost to drive from NC to NY- $22.00- yep that's right $22.00. That little Hyundai is amazing :) Round trip with tolls approximately $85.00, I spent just about as much on tolls as I did on gas. People keep telling me that in the long run flying would be cheaper, somehow I just don't see the logic in that. First off if I flew I would have to TRY to board Boo- she wouldn't be happy neither would I and I highly doubt I could find a kennel that would take her. Then there is the Airport, long term parking, the cost of the ticket, the Airport, the take off & landing, the lay overs, the Airport, the take off ( again ) and landing, the Airport, having someone pick me up, gas for that person to & from the Airport, having someone bring me back to the Airport, then doing it all over again for the return trip, and did I mention the Airport?
When Jesse flew back to NY from here the last time took him 7 hours just to get to the Airport in NY, not to mention the trip from the Airport to Middletown. When Dar flew I think the flight took her about 4 hours ( she had a better flight after the puddle jump from J'Ville to Charlotte ) then she had the trip from the Airport to home. My way, yes, there is that drive 10 -11 hours but didn't cost nearly as much and there was no AIRPORT to deal with, no arrangements for a ride to make and I had my car the whole week to do what I wanted without putting anyone out.
Call me illogical call me crazy but I just believe driving is better.
Ask me after a bad trip with a ton of traffic and see if I change my view point, but for now driving is the way to go.
