Did you look at the front page of your morning paper this morning? I don't care what city you're in, if it's a major newspaper, I bet it has at least one article talking about how horrible it is to fly on the airlines today, and how you need to be at the airport a minimum of two hours before your flight.
Think about it - in two hours, I can be 400 statute miles away in the RV - and that's before the airline traveler has taken off! And, when I get there, I'll have my knife, liquid toiletries, a few bottles of wine (if I choose), and I could even have a fire-arm or two with me if I so desired.
Louise is going to fly down from D.C in her -6, and while the weather will probably make it Friday rather than Thursday, i really don't care, as we both have a few days off to enjoy. I'd personally rather delay a day due to weather than put up with commercial air travel at this time of year - and today of all days (Black Wednesday!), you couldn't pay me enough to be on a commercial Boeing - in ANY seat....
Yes, the weather can get in the way, especially this time of year, when the atmosphere is "in transition", but hey, a little sanity is worth a wait - and when the weather does reach your personal minimums, you can still beat or match an airline trip of a thousand miles or less (door to door) in your RV.
Yup, I'm pretty thankful that Van started tinkering with sheet metal a few years back...![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
