    We're also flying. We have to drive to Milwaukee then connect with Airtran. Fares from our regional airport were really high.

    We use DH frequent flyer miles for DD to go back and forth from college (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring break) - but United throws in these regional and global upgrades to DH all the time on his account, so I at least got to upgrade to First class for free

    We're autotrain(ing) it!

    So, a drive to Lorton, then the train to our happy place. So much better than driving the whole way from Toronto!

    Talking Driving

    Our family policy is leave nothing we own behind. I find with my ECV and the convenience of having a vehicle available worth the 18 hours on the road. Plus this year with four of us airfare lost out to the cost of driving.

    We leave PA at 7pm and arrive the next afternoon in the Disney area. Find a cheap room sleep off the drive and enjoy the time until check in at POP.

    I pop the van into cruise control and with our video on demand… “Put in a DVD” it helps pass the time.

    OK maybe I have to watch the road but I have listened to many movies on the trips.

    To us the drive is part of the adventure and how could we miss stopping at South of The Border. We would not want to get Pedro angry.

    I'm flying! Applied and received the Southwest credit card, complete with 50,000 miles on it. So I used about 17,000 of them and basically paid $74 to fly roundtrip. (One of the main selling points to my husband -- 'but honey it won't cost much')

    Now to see how I might use the rest of the points.... my AP is burning a hole in my pocket...

    We'll be flying but I'm hoping airfare gets a bit better. It's better today than it was a few weeks ago, so hopefully the trend continues. Hoping to leave late Wednesday night out of Philly, but only if getting off of work comes through!

    Driving.

    We'll probably only have to make three or four rest stops along the way. That whopping 22 mile drive is a killer!

    Is teleportation an option yet?

    I'm still not even sure if I'm going, but this would be my best option at this point.

    Teleporting has been available here at Intercot for quite a while.

    Southwest is running a sale with some pretty good fares, but they must be booked by tomorrow, June 14th. Might be worth checking out.
