Darlene and I were talking about what would be involved in taking Sheila's new car to her. Darlene had planned on driving it up to Denver either next weekend or the weekend after, then flying back. It would be about 1100 miles to Denver and then a one-way plane ticket. I am not too keen about sending my cute, young, blonde wife on a two-day drive across a number of states by herself, so that got me into the frame. Quickly, this is looking like $1000 in plane tickets, and a weekend blown. That means no training during this time as well.
I formulated a new plan that we are kicking around. Instead of doing the weekend banzai run, why not just drive it up when we head there for Christmas, then use the back half of our already-purchased round trip tickets to get home. Sounds like a lot of driving...and it is! 1900 miles; 29 hours, according to MapQuest. Assuming the weather is good…
We will talk about it more, but we would probably try to break it up into two fourteen-hour days. We will need to come up with some car games and some books on tape...
