I decided to drive instead of fly because:
- I wanted to have an "I am woman, hear me roar" experience (i.e., take a road trip by myself).
- It would have taken the same amount of time or maybe even longer to get from my door to hers if I had flown.
- It was cheaper to buy gas than a plane ticket. (I like to stay in denial about the wear and tear that it puts on the car!)
- I wanted to see new scenery - got to see the Great Smoky Mountains for the first time.
- I can return to Nashville whenever I want, working around tornadoes and other little things like that.
