Great Uncle or just "Pretty Good"?

Share
My niece recently gave birth to her daughter. So now I'm a great uncle... well, lets say "pretty good" uncle and I'll work up from there. But I'm never going to achieve "great" status if I don't make the 900 mile journey and visit the new family. The only problem is the price of gas. So I've created a spreadsheet that lets me compare the cost of driving versus scoring one of those cheap flights. With my spreadsheet, I've done several what-if scenarios to find that break-even point between driving and flying. Now it's just a matter of finding the money and the time from of work.
