[Cialug] San Francisco in November

[Matt Stanton]

I would suggest that while it may be cheaper and quicker to take a plane for a long trip, sometimes you just want to hit the road and make a longer trip out of it.

I would also suggest that winter in the Rockies is not the time to choose for a road trip.

Didn't the Mythbusters do a segment on this recently? They tested the
"myth" that any trip under 400 miles would be quicker by car. I believe
they confirmed it. That means anything over 400 miles will be faster by
plane. I fully realize that faster doesn't mean cheaper, but it may be
worth doing the math to compare on a trip from MN to CA. . .
