I'll also put some of it in the ice cube tray for easy use later. <br /><br />I like your idea about using the sauce jar.cam.robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00196516656865810340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491356490446449666.post-5511093872280591632010-02-10T23:50:35.437-05:002010-02-10T23:50:35.437-05:00My friend Christina will do something like your mu...My friend Christina will do something like your multi-legged trip. She flies into Chicago then rents a car and drives to city 1 then 2 then 3 and flies out from there.

For this trip, I am basically making a circuit of three colleges/universities. I'm driving because all of the legs by themselves (3 or 6 hours) are not bad to drive. It is also spread out over several days. No chugging coffee or No Doz to stay awake.<br /><br />If I didn't drive, this trip probably wouldn't be made. It is essentially taking advantage connections I have at my alma mater and other places to recruit for our summer program. I suppose that I could fly to each of these places (except one is a good 50 miles from the nearest major city), but it is more cost effective for the university to have me drive.<br /><br />I'm going to have to re-work my poll. Thanks for the input!swiggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11891906293411024469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491356490446449666.post-84906234687933908002010-02-10T13:04:17.186-05:002010-02-10T13:04:17.186-05:00I'm interested in your poll requesting views o...I'm interested in your poll requesting views on how you would drive 1400 miles on a business trip. I'm sure it's a cultural thing and I know we have, comparatively, better public transport in the UK but there is no way I would drive 1400 miles in the first place. How would you do this trip if you couldn't drive it at all, like my brother who has epilepsy or my other brother who has chosen not to learn (both in their 40's)? If I had to do this trip I would choose the train firstly and then coach or bus. I can and do drive but only locally. 15 miles to work (when I don't have a broken leg) at night (no public transport then) but a bus in the daytime or going to see my equally rural friends.<br /><br />Your poll needs some more options!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602549347045444341noreply@blogger.com
