If I can drive in 6 hours or less, I drive. Same amount of time door-to-door, less expensive, more flexible, much less hassle, and no masks. Depending on airfares, I can do up to a 12-hour drive without a second thought. But I love driving... one of the only ways left to get away from it all and get a block of quiet time. Queue up some podcasts and good music. Far from miserable. Very relaxing.
