I'm trying to make the F2F but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it happen.

I really want to make this F2F, but not certain of that happening at the moment. S and I want to take a couple of trips this year, so hopefully we'll both make it. Maybe just me. We'll see.

I've been planning a driving trip down the eastern seaboard, though I'd originally thought it would be more Feb/March. How far is Atlanta from Charlotte, NC? I'm going at least that far south, so if it's not an extreme haul from there, I might rethink when I take my road trip.

How far is Atlanta from Charlotte, NC?
If memory serves (since I was contemplating this very thing last fall), it's about three 1/2 hours. It's a straight shot on the highway so I imagine it can vary widely depending on traffic.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm thinking about driving it myself. It's 13 hours from New Jersey, but I've driven to Nashville before, so I'm used to it. It's less hassle than flying, and then I have my car. Of course, I'd have to take more time off work.... I dunno. Rambling.

I've been thinking about the same thing, Zenkitty.

I considered driving, but plane tickets from Chicago to Atlanta are so damn cheap on Delta I wouldn't have any kind of savings and I really need to scrimp on this trip in order to make it. Otherwise, I'd drive. Lots of lovely countryside between WI and GA, places I haven't been that I'd like to see. I often take a couple extra days with a tent and camp in smaller state parks when I take a road trip. You have to go off the beaten path for that. It gives a better feel for what the countryside looks like than the interstate.

It's 4-5 hours, Frank. It's a straight shot on I-85.

That's not bad at all (pretty much the same distance I had this weekend going up to Vermont). I was going to take a week off and make several stops on the way down and back (Northampton in MA, outside of Baltimore in MD, State College in PA, Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte, maybe New York City), so adding another leg (and a couple of days on one end of the week off or the other) to the trip doesn't seem too bad an option. I had hoped it would be more of a mid-winter trip, but early May shouldn't be too bad even that far south.
