So here I am getting ready to drive to the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport. It is named for Army General Billy Mitchell who was raised in Milwaukee and was an air power advocate for the military.
And, what a day to be heading up into the skies. It started snowing heavily around 3 am and continued all morning, eventually amassing around 3 inches on the deck railings by the time I left. It then proceeded to snow the whole way until I got to about 15 miles from the airport. Sloppy driving, but at least no road accumulation.
I did some last minute packing and found that I could get all my clothes into what I hoped could be considered a carry-on piece of luggage to avoid the $35 extra to check in a larger piece. Even then, I felt I had a good flying deal at a $317 round trip price. At first I had considered driving, but after I paid for gas, eating, as well as a motel room both ways that would about equal the plane flight. Not to mention the wear and tear on the car for the 3000 miles.
