Adam and I are debating whether we drive or fly to Colorado next month. We started pricing tickets last night. It is never easy getting to his parent's house in Carbondale. We usually fly to Denver and then either rent a car for the day ($100) and make the 3 hours drive through the mountains or his parent's come to get us in Denver. I feel bad asking them to do this because it is a 6 hour round trip for them.
Frontier has flights from Chicago to Denver to Aspen for $360. We usually fly United, but the tickets would be over $400.
We are thinking about driving this time. I know it sounds crazy with gas prices, but we did that math last night. Gas would be around $450 for the entire trip. It would take us about 18 hours to drive out there. It makes sense to drive because there are two of us that can share the driving. There is also a really awesome table that Adam's parent's have been trying to give us for a year now, but we have had no way to get it to Chicago. If we drive, we can bring the table back.
We need to make our decision soon. First, we have to get vacation approval from our employers.
