Flying beats driving hands down from SD to Vegas. Left the house at 8:15, plane lifted off at 9 pm, by 10:15 was driving south out of Vegas to Henderson. Somehow I'd let old, failed arguments ("...hey, just add it up - you have to drive the airport, park, check. in, get on the plane, yada yada yada...by the time you finally get there you could have just driven"). 2.5 hours vs. 5.0, refrereshed vs. road weary. I think I was out of coverage more during the drive than the plane trip (wireless phone coverage).
