Seems we are likely opting to drive instead of fly for our vacation in a few months. We haven't been too impressed with the ticket prices, and I've estimated driving will only cost somewhere between a third and half of what the round trip tickets for 2 would be, even with higher gas prices and driving a truck that only gets 25 mpg. There are some slightly cheaper tickets, but the departure/arrival times for those kinda sucked. Plus with all the stuff going on with long wait times at the airport, it puts me off of the idea, since I physically can't stand in lines for long periods of time. Big airports are something I try to avoid in the best of times.....when I start hearing about long wait times, that's a deciding factor for me.
It's a long drive, so we're planning to break it up across two days instead. We'll stop in Memphis coming and going, at my mom's house and visit with her a little bit.
