My only option budget-wise would be driving. Any flights from here to anywhere in the US always connect in Denver or Minneapolis so it's a little extra flying and a lot more expensive... it would end up being at least $1500 for me to fly alone, and I just can't afford that right now. Unfortunately, it's also a 23 hour drive and since I'm taking some vacation in a couple of weeks, I can't really afford to take more vacation time either. Plus Scott would need time off too because I wouldn't feel comfortable driving alone all the way!
I really wish I could make it but I hope you all have fun without me!
