I agree, drive from Pennsylvania is a long drive, but from Texas not so bad. We are both retired, so no rush. Maybe drive and enjoy some sites on the way, a bit to early to decide. I retired in 2013, Myriam 2 years later.
we are 5 March, watching the prices. we talked about if air fares, do not go down, rent a car and go, but that is talk for now. Both retired and in no rush.
