I've taken many 600 mile one day trips and only once had a serious car problem. On planes, I regularly have delays, missed connections, almost-lost wallets while putting myself back together after stripping for the feds, and for the past five years I've never had a plane trip that involved less than four hours of non-plane time. And you guys are driving 3 hours just to get to Orlando.
If you drive, you're pretty darn sure you'll get there on time. In a plane, not so much.
