If I can get a ride from Chicago to St. Louis, I can fly to the OMP for $175. I'd have to grab a bus to Providence because the discounted fares are through Southwest, which doesn't fly out of Boston. Possible flights are:
TO:
Thurs. 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Fri. 8:00am - 9:20am
Fri. 10:45am - 2:40pm
FROM:
Mon. 7:35pm - 10:45pm
If not, I can bus there for $158. It's a damn long bus ride (leave Boston 8am Thursday, arrive StL 1pm Friday, leave StL 4:30p Sunday, arrive Boston 8:30p Monday) and involves possibly more missed work (Thurs, Fri, Mon - whereas I wouldn't have to miss Friday if I flew), but sometimes we make sacrifices for the things we enjoy...

Re: I agree, but feel the need to elaborate
on 24 May 2004 15:44 (UTC)I've done the long bus ride before (Oklahoma to California). It does not put me in that bad of a mood. AND if I have someone to accompany me, someone I like a lot, it'd be even better.
The problem with the Chicago thing is I don't know of anyone in Chicago that's going. I don't want to end up stranded in Chicago for a weekend...
