A recent post on Cynical-C made me look into airfare for our next trip to Florida. The post basically pointed out that flying is cheaper than driving. The point I was going to make in my comment to it was that if you're a family of 4, driving is definitely cheaper. I searched for airfare cost for our upcoming trip to Florida to prove my point and...I was wrong...at least this time. When I worked the numbers, the airfare was actually cheaper because of rising gas prices. I was shocked! To fly 4 people is actually very close in price to paying for gas/hotels along the way.
That's one of the great things about reading blogs. They make you think, sometimes they even make you change your mind on ideas that you are sure of.
So...thanks to Chris at Cynical-C for making me think. It's bloggers like him that prove the value of blogging to me.
