Well, after debating the flying vs. driving issue, Ben and I decided this year we'd drive to visit his family in Arizona. Yes, you heard right. We're driving from NY to AZ. Takes about 3 days. It's no big deal for our family. I grew up taking trips all the time and this will be my 4th time traveling across country. Austin has made the trip twice and this will be Andrew's first time. Pray they behave! They're really good travelers in the car but you never know what can happen. I should be able to update my blog as we travel. We'll be gone two weeks with lots of pictures when I have free moments!
For those of you wondering why we'd pick driving here's why:
-airlines charge $50 for each extra bag
-airlines charge for meals, movies, and now some charge for pillows and blankets
-airfair is expensive from SYR to PHX
-we don't have a vehicle while we're there
-we have to carry 2 car seats through the airports to connecting flights
-Austin + airplane seat= lots and lots of stimming to the dismay of whoever is behind him and in front of him
-we'd have to buy 4 tickets cause Andrew's too old to sit on a lap
Hopefully we made the right decision!

Save travels!! Have fun!
ps. my word verification is "truck", fitting huh??
Good luck . Noah has flown so many times and does the same stimming in his seat. And yes much to the dismay of the person in front of us.
I think you made the right choice, after listing all those pros and cons! Have a safe and slow trip...wish you would pop on over to see us, but we're sick, so probably better you don't.
