Did I jump into Bizarro world?
Was really annoyed at the thought of paying THAT much for a bus ticket back home this weekend. So I checked around on the web for airline prices (- really didn't expect much due to the fact I am planning to leave early friday morning -)
I found plane tickets to Traverse City for only $80 more than the bus ticket! What's more, the Tickets to Traverse City cost me $100 less than it would for me to fly into Grand Rapids! What happened?
I'm not complaining at all. I'm definately opting to spend the extra $80 for the 4 hour trip (including layover in chicago) via plane with one transfer as opposed to the 31 hours (and 5 transfers and layovers) that Greyhound takes to get from Buffalo to Traverse City. It's just odd. At one time, it actually made financial sense to take the bus as opposed to flying. What happened?
This is my way of saying, "Yeah, going to be gone from Friday until next Wednesday while I go do belated families holiday things."
