Drive or Fly?

Ok so now we are just about a month away from lift off and we still haven't decided how we are getting out there! You'd be surprised how difficult this is to figure out. Let me give you the deets:

1. First off, we don't really own any furniture. We borrowed just about everything from Nate's parents and then we were given a pair of chairs from his mom for christmas two christmases ago. So we don't need to worry about hauling furniture out there.

2. However, Nate does have some fairly expensive guitars that he is planning on having out in Chicago. Yet he has no idea on how he is going to get these fancy-shmance guitars out there. He doesn't want to ship them because they could get hurt, he doesn't want to take them on the plane as a carry-on because they might be too big for the plane and they will make us check them anyways, and he doesn't feel like driving out to Chicago because it is too far. Absurd.

3. We don't really plan on having a car while we are out there. (And Nate doesn't think that our car will make it out there in one piece!)

So drive or fly I ask you?
