That chicken squawking sound you hear is me …

• Posted in General musings

Last week, I blogged about trying to decide whether to drive or fly to RWA Nationals in Dallas this summer.

I’ve pretty much decided to rent a car and drive.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m a big fat chicken because I’m nervous about flying. But honestly, flying just seems like a big hassle. And it would take me almost as long to fly back from Dallas as it would to drive (once you factor in getting to the airport two hours early and a layover in Charlotte).

But, I didn’t entirely base my decision on my cowardice. I also had to take financial things into consideration. I could basically use the money I’d spend on plane tickets and go to another conference, namely Moonlight & Magnolias in Atlanta.

So, that’s probably what I’m going to do … unless I change my mind again. Just ask my significant other. I’m completely wishy-washy when it comes to making decisions. 😕

What about you? Are you driving to RWA? Flying? Inquiring minds want to know ….

    I hear that chicken squawking all the way in Wisconsin. 😆 I bought my plane tickets in October, figuring the prices would go up. There’s no way I would drive that far. I’m so looking forward to it. I won’t have a layover either, so that’s good. 🙂

    Oh, it’s loud and clear all right. 😀

    If I didn’t have a layover, I’d probably take some pills, knock myself out, and fly. But I can’t do that when I have to switch planes after an hour. And the money issue was a big part of it too. I didn’t realize it was so expensive to fly coach. I looked at first-class tickets just for kicks and almost had a heart attack at my computer!
