Good point! However, I find more aggravation when flying.
1, I have to worry about what is being packed where when we fly
2, I have to stress out about lines and security checks, and lugging the kids and their junk through the airport
3, I have to deal with changes to my flight times(Since Ive booked the July flights Ive lost 1hr & 40 minutes on our first day, and and hour & a half on our last day)
4, I have to have panic attacks while flying
5, I have to hope that my kids wont be disruptive to anyone around us
6, I have to worry about peanuts on the plane, as my DS is allergic
The list could go on, but my point is I find it much more relaxing to drive than fly. Sure flying is quicker which is a definite advantage too, but for us, driving is cheaper and more relaxing....some advantages there too. Thats why we do both.
