It's just amazing how mobile you become with a pilot license in your
pocket. What took us 1.5 hours by air would take no less than 6 hours by
car, I was sure to check with MapQuest.


I love mentioned to people that I've taken son and wife to Nantucket and
Cape May for lunch (on different days! {8^). It's a quick and effective
way to present a benefit of aviation to a non-aviator.

Amusingly enough, this is more dramatic than having weekended or vacationed
somewhere.

Andrew, did you go on to tell the people those were $100 hamburgers?

And worth every cent?

I'm not sure what you mean. That's an expression that wouldn't mean much to
a non-aviator, so the literal answer to your question is "no". But I've
the feeling you don't mean this literally.

And worth every cent?


As far as I can recall, price never entered those discussions. My memory
isn't perfect, though, so it may have arisen in some cases.
