Several weeks ago I received an email from Orbitz notifying me of low fare deals. After clicking around for about a half hour, I decided there was a trip to Denver I couldn’t pass up—two round trip tickets from Kansas City to Denver for $99.40 each.
The question is, how was flying after traveling so many miles on land this summer?
It was nice, but I think we both still prefer driving. For us, it is always the journey. We enjoy the things we see and do in route and back.
It took about 5 1/2 hours to fly vs. 8 1/2 to drive. That’s counting from the time we left Doug & Drue’s this morning until we drove in our garage. Surprisingly, there isn’t that big of a savings of time.
There was also the hour drive up to Denver & back twice for Doug.
Still, there were definitely some benefits. We left for the airport at 8:00 last Saturday and still had lots of time to enjoy the day in Colorado. It seemed like we had an extra day yesterday as well.
Will we fly again? Definitely would consider another trip to Colorado to visit family, but other than that, we are still four-wheel-down people.
