I am a petrified flier. I avoided it for over 25 years. With that being said, I flew twice to Orlando last year but over Easter DH and I decided to drive from Chicago as we have done about 10 times before. Well, I just booked us round trip tickets for when we return next month because the drive was terrible for us.
The weather cooperated but it is an 18 hour drive. We spent the night in Georgia going there so that cost us. Then there was the meals we ate along the way and the stops for gas, and bathroom breaks.
Coming home was worse. We drove straight through to home. not spend the night anywhere. We saw many accidents along the way. The driving seemed to never end and when we got home my legs were swollen to nearly twice their size due to all the sitting.
I don't think I can stand another drive like that in my lifetime so I am just going to have to suck it up and fly. In 2 hours, I'm there and happy.
If we lived less than 10 hours away we would drive but since we live much further than that, we will fly.
