My husband and I used to always drive to the in-laws in upstate New York from Chicago. We would spend the night in Buffalo and have breakfast at the Cracker Barrel and then drive the final two hours. I do miss those days and I have always hated the airlines. But when we got the cats, we didn't want to be away that long, not to mention the cat sitter expense. Plus we're getting kind of old.
But who knows, maybe if our flight is cancelled, we'll talk about driving.
