(real life context: BI is a 15 minute flight, and martha's is aboot 25, when hopping over from our friendly, local, airport in the woods -chester. it's aboot ten minutes away sooo, 10 drive, 15 plane, and another 10 to 20 minutes ground on BI. well, that makes it aboot 1 hour, soup to nuts, for those who really dislike the 'getting there' hassle part of travel, when pressed for time. what's that beach boy song say? 'we'll get there fast, then take it slow') [/QUOTE]
