This weekend is the annual Outdoors Retailer Trade Show in Salt Lake City and I have to be there; it's the "official" unveiling of my book! The problem is Salt Lake City is a bear of a drive, a good 10 hours one-way through mostly desert. Add to that, my little car could probably do without the mileage so my dilemma is do I fly or drive? I really only need to be there for one day--Saturday--and then I can come back home. Trying to do the math is tricky; right now I can get airline tix for about $250 but that adds in taxi costs etc. Driving can save me about 100 bucks at least but puts wear and tear on my car, involves a good 20+ hours of driving and if the car breaks, becomes much more expensive than flying.

So any strategic thoughts? And no, I'm pretty sure there aren't any Mormom pilgramages headed west this time of year...
