The weekend of my birthday in July, I plan on traveling to El-Paso to visit my Father's grave at Fort Bliss National Cemetery. He passed away when I was 11 months old while he was on active duty and I havent actually visited his grave during my adulthood, and the weekend of my birthday I think it would be a great tribute. I will also get to visit my grandparents as they are buried there as well.

What I am debating is travel via Air or vehicle, Airfare is running about $200
car rental is around $70

obviously, driving would cost more adding in gas but I would get to see so many things. carlsbad and truth or consq is on my list.

anyone got anything to add as far as traveling between JLN and ELP that would make driving that much more likely?
