Dmmetler Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I really don't like doing long drives by myself. It's 8 hours. We're looking at over $400/person, plus $70 per person EACH WAY in shuttles to get to university, since the nearest airport is almost an hour away. Or we can greyhound-for $288 total for the two of us, plus about $20 in taxis to get to the university hosting. 13 hours and two transfers, though, including one in St. Louis at 3:00 in the morning. Ugh..ugh....ugh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewelma Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm starting to think that accelerated kids are just more expensive. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Can you do the drive over 2 days instead? I would think that that would end up being about the same price-wise as greyhound and a lot less inconvenient, once you add in 2 extra nights in a cheap motel. The first evening should start comparatively late, so that leaves time to do 3-4 hours of driving that day to split it up, and still get in in time to have a rest-up before it starts. Taking two days to drive, you'd have ample time to drive no more than 2 hours at a time, then stop at a diner for milkshakes or something and a good long rest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
