yeah, but if you spend most of your day in a plane, i'd imagine you'd want a break from it on vacation 
it's a 19 hour drive for me, but the flip side of that is no fuss over luggage at the airport. between boba, BSG and firefly stuff i'm bringing at least 6 guns. i'd hate to deal with that at the airport! especially since i'll probably bring my bronze / aluminum fett rifle, rather than the rubber one.
