They have some pretty exotic birds in SD too.

I'm very tempted to do it again. We had time to tour the USS Midway and the whole waterfront downtown, still with plenty of time left for the festivities.

I booked a flight yesterday. Friday 9:45am arrival and Sunday 9:45pm departure. Booked on Southwest, so no change or cancellation fees if I decide to drive out there. I may switch arrival to Thursday afternoon if others arrive on Thursday and want to hang out.

Maybe not directly, but isn't Mr. Burger texting you a photo of his meat?

You should! I'm trying for this year as well!
My daughter was born on that weekend last year so I didn't make it, but not this year!

It's a car event, Drive!!!

On the other hand, lets say your total cost per mile is .33/mile. That's cheap, real cheap, much less than the IRS allows. But if so, that's $900 round trip, plus a couple of extra days of lodging. I'm a drivin' fool myself, but sometimes the numbers just don't work. Of course if you have a companion or want to make it a little vacation with maybe a detour or two like I'm planning on, that changes things a bit.

Economically, flying might be optimal. My poor little e28 doesn't get very good mileage either.
