Will by flying to location and renting a car. It would take just too much time to drive, flying is the easiest way and with a free flight on Southwest works out the best.
We will take a couple of long weekends to Charlotte for weddings. 🙂 About 500 miles one way from here. The drive is only about 9 hours and it goes by quickly. 🙂
I have a couple of short trips planned but am flying. I really dislike car trips more than 150 miles each way.
~2,000 miles. ALB->BQN. Ended up being a bit of a surprise. However, luckily, we’re only on the hook for airfare!
I think about the farthest I’m going to get this summer is about 150-200 miles from home for a weekend trip. I might try to go to a motorcycle track day with some friends in August.
we’ll actually take several long weekend trips that are 300 miles, or so(one way.) A week or two at a time has just NEVER happened for us.
We’re driving to a Georgia beach for our summer vacation. It’s about 800 miles round trip and is one of the closest beaches. That’s our rationale. We were aching for a beach. A lake wasn’t going to cut it this year.
