REFLECTION QUESTION
Transport

What was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?

I will have to leave a day earlier to allow for travel by car. However, it is saving money. We/I do a lot of car travel over the summer when the time allows for it. School to chose to send us to a closer conference so that allows for car travel and reduces the amount spent. Also, we will only travel by car - we won't have to rent a car when we get there too.
