I am doing it in basically 24 hrs if the connections go smooth. It also appeared to be about the lowest cost run I could find for that weekend out of DFW. docykm also found one with more miles but in the same price range. I did not see that one. This is the first time I have ever done an MR so if you have any pointers I am all ears...

With more time on my hands next year I will be looking for more guidance to reduce the amt of hard earned dollars I have to spend since it seems travel for many of us is less than it has been in the past.
