    I don't even want to think about how much gas money I'm going to spend on this long PJ road trip.

    It looks like I will be spending $0 for travel, as I don't think I will be able to attend the show that I have tickets to. :-(

    I'm trying to get some people to take the drive from NYC to VA Beach with me. Right now, I'm going solo, and then joining my girlfriend in Philly for the rest of the shows.

    Again, if anyone needs a ride from NYC to VA Beach, please let me know. :)

    for the first time since 2004....no flights for me! :D and when i did fly in 2005, 2006 and 2007.....airmiles baby! :D i don't even wanna know what we're gonna spend on gas getting down to DC. i am just very happy we bought a brand new car last year, a versa, so pretty fuel efficient. :) LI>hartford>mansfield>LI....should have 3-4 people each way sharing expenses, so that helps. DC will be the most expensive all the way round for us, b/c it is the one show i am traveling just with my husband, sharing my 10c tix and hotel 2 nights...just us...so 100% of the expenses. also our 16th wedding anniversary on the 20th......so also 100% worth it. ;)


    oh and MSGs....both local, so good ole LIRR. we already have monthly passes, so no added expenses. gotta love that.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    2 local shows (Camden), MSG (via train) = very little spent on gas or travel :)

    $0 for airfare this time (using air miles)

    $65 for housing (that's one night in Hartford Hotel, remaining nights at friend's house in Providence)

    Gas will only be what I put in the rental car.

    $160 for the rental car

    $444 for tickets to three shows


    I made out pretty well. If it wasn't for the air miles and lodging break, I wouldn't be able to do this this year. This will be my last travel for "normal" shows. I can't afford it anymore. If there is a special show somewhere in the future, then I will reconsider. Yes, I know all shows are "special" but you know what I mean.

    70 miles round trip to Mansfield X 2 will be dirt cheap. The 2 weeks spent driving around Ireland on our honeymoon just prior to the shows from the 12th to the 27th will be very expensive! 4 dollar gas is going to seem like a bargain when I get back!
    I will feel....alive....as long as I'm freeeeeeee...
