2,000 miles isn't enough to justify flying.
If it was Air Brasil, it might be worth it to see the air hostesses.
They have my vote anyway!

It can be done in a car, so I hear.Teo del Fuego wrote:Hmmm, [sits down with a calculator and a number 2 pencil].....oh, okay, you're averaging, for the entire trip, 95.5 mph. By drive, you do mean "flight?"RegRad wrote:From Centennial, Colorado.

During the year I lived in Hell, er, Racine, Wisconsin, it was almost exactly 2,000 miles from my the apartment building to Gerlach, NV. Now I am back in the Madison, WI area (either Fitchburg or Madison, depending upon who you ask), which is a bit further west and a bit farther north.... I haven't checked the distance, but I'd guess I am about 2,000 miles from Black Rock City.
Spiritually, metaphorically, etc., the distance varies.

I must be missing the problem there, unless you're towing a trailer.
There are a lot of variables though.
Last time I went through DC, I went right through the center in about twenty minutes total.
When I realized I was missing all the traffic in the cities, I didn't stop for anything until I hit NC.
It was an easy overnight drive from the cape to North Carolina, but I didn't see traffic after nyc.
None at all.

989 miles round trip with minimal off route driving en route. I drive 60 or less and very slow at times up the passes. Fully loaded box truck and car trailer. If solo I only stop for fuel and broke down burners. I make the trip in roughly 11 hours at night to avoid traffic and to get to BRC as early as I can. One of these years I swear I'm going to stop in at the Eagles Nest RV Park on the way down.
