So about a month ago I told a good friend of mine (fellow grad student) that FH & I had decided to get married in Vegas in May, & I wanted to invite her but I know that she is seriously phobic about flying & I certainly didn't expect her to drive to Vegas from Wisconsin!

So about a month ago I told a good friend of mine (fellow grad student) that FH & I had decided to get married in Vegas in May, & I wanted to invite her but I know that she is seriously phobic about flying & I certainly didn't expect her to drive to Vegas from Wisconsin! Her immediate response was that she wanted to come & the drive "isn't that bad!" I was like, well, it's probably 3 days of driving each way, but she insisted that it would be a fun road trip & she really wanted to come. So I was excited, & we started making plans for her to transport a few things in the car that would be a lot cheaper/easier to get in WI. I got her a personalized flask along with the BM flasks that had her name & said "Wedding Roadie" underneath as her wedding party role.

So yesterday I'm at the gym on the elliptical & I get a text from her on my phone asking if I'm in the building where we work because "we need to talk." THAT'S not alarming, right?

    Additionally 30 hours will take closer to 5 days to drive than 3 if she is driving it alone. She may have been assuming when she said yes that she would have someone splitting the trip price/ drive with her. There is a big difference in 3 days and $350 and 5 days $700. And none of that includes the drive home.
