I flew from Foot Myers. The distance was 1450 miles and $350.10.  
Being in south west Florida, I typically have to fly. If I drive  
north, it's over 350 miles JUST to get to the Georgia border. My  
distances are:
1.... St Louis   1277 mi. (fly)
2.... Kan Cty    1400      (fly)
3.... Minn         1450      (fly)
4.....Denv         1616      (fly)
5.....Dallas        1265      drove (stopped N.O.La. on return)
6.....Memphis    988       drove
7.....B'mingham 656       drove
8.....Columbus  1212      drove (got to Pgh)
9.....W'msburg  909        drove
10...Detroit        1382     (fly)
11...New Jers    1287     drove (visit family)
12...Chicago      1377     (fly)
If I go to Va Beach, I will drive. It is 840 mi. for me.  It costs me  
money to go to spah. But the people bring me back.
