I would like to take a trip home this summer but I don't have much vacation time left, and my new vacation time doesn't start until September. I was hoping to fly home for a long weekend, but prices are really high right now! Even if I flew to Chicago (a few hours away from where my family lives) it would be well over $300.
Gas prices are really high, and even going straight through takes 12 hours (so, that would take 2 days of travel there and back).
The train is relatively cheap, but it's always late headed east-bound which would cut into travel time, too- and even that takes between 12-17 hours, depending on how delayed it is.
Greyhound is cheap, but uncomfortable and has weird hours and would still take a long time...
How do you travel quickly/cheaply? Which do you think is more important?
