But overall, it was cheaper and faster than any other method.

Even cheaper: Last year after realizing I couldn't afford to pay
anyone to bring my glider to CA from GA I switched tactics (before
this very audience...). I found someone that COULD afford to have me
bring out their glider (thanks Adirondack Soaring Club!) The catch
was, to get from Oakland to Atlanta I had to take a detour through
Portland OR to Saratoga NY(yummy pizza!)
Beautiful trip, 25 states in 10 days + an all expenses paid visit to
the NSM and visited Len Niemi's daughter Carol on my way through NC,
where incidentally while I was listening to the "Rick And Bubba Show"
for kicks, I actually passed a giant billboard with a closeup of a
completely toothless youngish lady smilin away with the caption "GOT
TEETH?" in ginormous white letters across the top (some sort of dental
add that was apparently not kidding...) You know your in The South
when...
