My brother still has his little mazda; he was originally going to give it to his son to drive but the car is 20 years old and I think since my nephew's school is a 20 minute drive (on the highway) that he didn't trust it. My mom decided to give up her car and now it's my nephew's. So my brother will loan me his car for the week and he'll drive his mazda.
So the flight would cost me 16-30,000 frequent flyer miles (depending on if I do economy or 1st class).
Driving i could bring more stuff,including a few things for my mom.
I'm leaning towards flying, only because I just got home from work and I'm frigging exhausted. I have another long day tomorrow and I don't know if I could do a long drive on Friday.
I think I'm going to squish myself into a regular seat and save 14k miles.
