Well, it isn't drivetalk, but when you travel, you have to be involved in some sort of driving, whether it is yourself or somebody else driving.

My factors:
1. Location
2. Time of travel
3. Traffic situation
4. Cost difference
5. Number of people traveling

I am increasingly sick of driving to the point where I will fly if the price us reasonable. For example, ROC to NYC will force me to fly, but ROC-EWR will prompt me to drive, simply because of the flight schedule to EWR is not good. I also would not wait for two hours at the bridges or tunnels to NYC with a $20 toll if I travel alone.

The best part of flying is you can actually do some work or rest in the plane while you have to pay full attention to traffic and weather on the road. I love multitasking, but multitasking on the road has gotten so dangerous.
