Thanks.
Driving and flying are probably about the same amount of time, taking into account getting into and out of the airports, through customs (if there is a reasonably short wait at the border driving), and getting into and out of downtown.

Will you have your own car or will you be renting? If you rent, make certain that the rental company knows you are taking the car across the border, to prevent problems once you get to the checkpoint.

It's a beautiful drive if the weather is nice and clear. It can be a slog if it is raining heavily (or worse, snowing).
