Holy Crap!

I'm heading to Atlanta for Memorial Day weekend for a conference, and out of curiosity, I checked airfare from Washington DC to ATL. Jeez! $300 round trip! And this is 4 months in advance. I even checked Southwest (which I hate flying because I feel like cattle in their group-lines) and Airtran. Same price: $300. And this is before check-in baggage fee between $25 and $50 depending on how many bags I check-in and how much it weighs.

I wouldn't mind driving except I figured I would be really tired after the weekend to spend 9 hours in the vehicle going north on I-95. I'll have to coerce, er, I mean, recruit some people to drive down there and back with me.

$300.

Craziness!
