So, my folks are heading out to see the extended family in southern illinois this weekend. I would like to join them, but, it’s just not accessible. I’m saving up my spare time to join them (my parents) for a week in hawaii in october (and I still need to pull an extra day’s worth of work time out of some extradimensional orifice to make that one work). <\/p>\n
It’s either a ‘5 and a half hour’ each amtrak trip assuming nothing breaks (approximately akin to assuming 2 inches of rain on any given day in AZ). or a 10 hour greyhound trip each way. Either option costs about 120, and spends 2\/3 of my weekend getting from point A to point B. If I could take off an extra day or two for the travel, I’d probably do it. But I really don’t have the time to spare. <\/p>\n
Otoh, there are some tempting looking e-saver flights. Like $202 to burlington, $160 to NYC, $250 to SFO, $200 to toronto, or $150 to dc. Except I’ve been to all of those places recently. No esavers to seattle, portland, or vancouver, the next places I’d really like to check out. Maybe I should just hang out and do something in town. Ah, but what to do, what to do? =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
