I want to thank all of you who left me comments on my last post about driving or flying to Disney. It sure helped me decide - so I made a decision. I can't decide! Hahahaaaa

The ONLY reason to fly is money - the plane tickets are non refundable and non transferable and we are out about $970 - so I had to decide if $970 is worth the aggravation of flying.

By aggravation I mean, the driving to Philly the night before, unpacking the car, staying at a hotel, getting the shuttle to the airport the next day, waiting in an airport, being on the plane. Then the return trip home - flight doesn't leave until 3:40 pm - so that is kinda sucky! Packing and getting to the airport late in the afternoon, flying home, finding our bags, finding the shuttle to get back to the hotel to get our car, packing up the car driving home.

We thought about just driving to the Philadelphia airport the day of our trip and leaving the car at the airport's secure parking lot but our flight leaves at 11:44 am so that means we'd have to leave the house at like 7 am on a weekday morning and drive almost 2 hours into Philadelphia - yea, no thank you.

Driving - we'd leave around 4pm after Olivia gets home from school. Grab a quick bite to eat (Mcd's or something) and drive straight through. It will be night time so the kids will sleep. Of course we'll stop for breaks and such but not at a hotel - we'll drive straight through. That should put us in Orlando around 11 am or noon - which is PERFECT. Our first day there, we have nothing planned so Zy can rest and we can hang at the pool if we want.

Coming home - we can leave when we want - no 'rush' to make it to the airport. We can stop in the evening and find a hotel if we want to sleep - depends on Zyon and how he feels - he'll be doing most of the driving. Yes, we'll get home a day later but I'd rather get home in the afternoon after a paced trip than late at night after flying and driving anyway!

Now, what's more of a hassle?

In the end, Zyon just made the decision for me because well, I'm a Libra and have a hard time making decisions and so he said, "screw it, we're driving. This isn't the first time we've made an expensive mistake and I'm sure it won't be the last!"
