I think this is a great idea, and I fully support doing it for people who wouldn't be able to come any other way, but I don't think I can justify the extra travel time to save a bit of money. Plus, my work will more than likely be paying for it. My time is more valuable, unfortunately.
But I don't want to rain on anybody's parade - if this is the only way that some people can come - and it sure sounds that way - then I am fully in support and will do anything I can to help it happen.
