A Summer Southern Trip?

Since it has such an awesome line-up, Ben and I are trying to figure out how to go to Bonnaroo this year without spending much more than the cost of the tickets (which are pricey) or taking too many days off work. It sounds impossible, but I am determined to make it work. With airplane tickets at $550/person that doesn't work. It would take 4 days to drive there and back, so that doesn't work either. I am now looking at the possibility of flying with Ben to Houston a few days prior (I would be the free companion ticket under a new credit card Ben is looking at) and then driving to Tennessee (which should take 12 hours each way). I would be stuck in wonderful Houston for a few days while Ben works, but it would allow us to only have the cost of gas in addition to the ticket prices.

I have my fingers crossed!
