For a hoot, I thought I'd see about going up to Atlanta and watch the Cubs play on Sunday......airfare round trip $1600....to Atlanta(change planes in Miami...in Tampa...in Charlotte)...I can fly to Chicago and back cheaper.
Then I crunched the numbers for my truck....$530 in gas....then I crunched the rental car numbers 3 days roughly a $150, plus a $100 in gas (39 MPG) found a Hotel within .09 miles of the stadium (walking distance , safe neighborhood) for $88 a night for two days.
Then I thought "What about Amtrak?" $619 round trip from Miami plus one night in Hotel.....cheaper to rent a car and drive .
Still I can't justify it, lose three days of work....plus I just bought a new cell phone on sale ....
I think I'll take the boat out to the reef and listen to the game on Sirius/XM....roughly $200 with gas, food, and a couple of Beers...only miss a few hours of work.
Off to Softball!!!!!:hurray:
