OOPS!
I meant "56.5 cents" per mile... BID difference from what I wrote first!

Hi Yinan and all,
You also left out depreciation on your vehicle which also adds up. I
think business gets a 50 cents a mile deduction on that. Best!
--AL Mitterling
Quoting Yinan Wang <[email protected]>:
Driving vs Flying is a question of starting point and logistics.
For east coasters that's a total of 5000+ miles round trip and 4-5
nights of hotels to account for all that + gas (~170 gallons for a
decent vehicle). That comes to roughly $1600 and a week of your life
that you could spend doing other things.
Flying: Airfare $350 roundtrip, Car rental $120/week: Which comes to
approximately $900 (that's including various fees). There will be
additional fees for mailing your stuff home. Oh, and you get several
free days which you didn't spend driving.
So ya, if you're within a day or two driving distance then driving is
better. Further out and it may not be worth it.
Math! See ya'll in Tucson.

Hi John,
I'm driving from SoCal as well. Saves the hassle and expense of
flying (which limits what I can bring) and then having to rent a
car. Also, unlike a rental car, with my own vehicle I can go
off-road if I want, which is handy if you plan to do a little
space-rock hunting along the way! --Rob

G'Day Linton, Michael and List
Very good advice Michael. I opted to drive from L.A., hotel is booked.
Look forward to seeing everyone.
Cheers
John
