Cars-The Only Way To Go

Welcome to Week 27 of the MFRW 52-week challenge. The topic is "Your destination is within 1500 miles, fly or drive."

Let's see. Spend 17 hours in a car or fly. Making the trip via airplane sounds quick and easy until you look at the details.

A one-hour drive to the airport. Two hours standing around to get through security. Between headcounts, seating passengers, taxi time and deplaning at the destination, figure on another two hours. There is no non-stop flights, so add in a few more hours catching a connecting flight. Then there are the seven official hours listed on the airline schedule. You're not making the trip to visit the airport, so there is the additional travel time to the end destination. Altogether figure on a 14-hour day.

I chose to make the trip in a more leisurely two days by car. Besides, a car allows for detours to visit interesting sites and outlets malls.
