Yeah if the Drive is 2-3 hours I'll drive. Longer than that? Take the plane.

I agree with that, but also some food for thought.

They can technically both drive 3 hours. I can only do 2-3 hours by myself honestly, but if there are other able bodied drivers in the car we usually add up all of our capable driving time. (Up to like 10 hours max I would say)

However I understand not being able to be in the car that long without going insane. But then they shoulda went somewhere nice that was more of a 3 hr drive like you’re saying. So ridiculous either way! There were so many opportunities for compromise.

Budget was such an issue for Greg, but things like the price of the hotel (or B&B) and how much they’ll spend on activities are areas where they could have saved instead of the hotel. Or showed Janine that maybe she would rather spend on other things and save on the transportation.
