Tell me about it Don - I go to Holland a lot . . . that's a 35 minute flight from here . . . . BUT that's 2 hours to the airport, 2 hours through security 30 minutes for boarding and take off, 30 minutes flight, 1 hour out of the airport 1 hour on the train 1 hour with the taxi. . . . . driving is bonkers - 400 miles, but it only takes 6 hours, is more relaxing, you can take whatever you want. leave when you want. But that's europe.I figure it takes 9 hours to get to an airport, find parking and finally get through security so I'm ahead of the game by driving :ROTFL:
I expect it's bollocks, but I once read that as far as greenhouse gases was concerned, it would be 'greener' if each passenger on a jumbo jet on a long haul flight had their own Range-Rover to drive the same distance.
Anyway, I like driving, and I certainly wasn't being critical. . . . . it was just the idea that a 9 hour drive was kind of 'local'
