Now that's an idea ! My husband is driving. We don't have to book anything till the last minute really though, so I'm just going to think positively about recovery and look forward to things otherwise I just think about that moment in the operating theatre and that isn't helpful for me !The only thing i would think about, since it is a 2 day car trip, would it be possible for you to fly to the closest airport and have whoever is driving down meet you there to cut most of the ravel off your trip there?
