I bet the company is better in the car, too. :-)

Room for your legs, stop to use bathrooms when you want, food that's fit to eat all along the way.

Books on tape, music cd's and talk radio.

I'll drive almost anywhere.

You betcha, now if I could only figure out how to freep from the car...

Amen to that pinz. We live on the East Coast, and my wife's family is in the midwest (Indiana). When vacation time rolls around, we rent a luxury car (for about the same price as ONE plane ticket), and make the 12 hour drive. The one time we flew, we had to switch planes in Chicago, and land in Indianapolis, which is a good hour and a half away from where her folks live...total time airport+flight+drive from airport = approx 8 hours.

For 4 more hours, we drive in comfort, at our own pace, stopping whenever we chose. We are not at the mercy of high-school drop-out screeners and drunk pilots.
