However, you can bring a lot more than you can on a plane. I moved to Colorado for 5 months via Amtrak and have plenty. A ticket includes 2 or 3 checked bags and 2 or 3 carry-ons. There version of a carry-on is A LOT bigger than an airplane. <br /><br />I'm not sure where you are in MA, but some of the tickets from random MA stops to New Orleans is about $150. Depending on where you are starting exactly, and the price of a taxi or bus to your exact destination, it could be something worth looking into.<br /><br />If not, I'd go with flying. Driving has too many potential disasters that could happen, and it doesn't seem like your car is in the best shape.<br /><br />I hope it all works out for you one way or another!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007658487006003949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484294216621973889.post-38955663080823108032012-02-26T21:17:45.235-08:002012-02-26T21:17:45.235-08:00Winter driving is less than ideal to start with, a...Winter driving is less than ideal to start with, and things can get ugly should a break down occur in the snow. Even if it turns out you don't need it in NOLA, better to have and not need than the reverse. This is all predicated on if it doesn't break the bank in gas or possible repair costs should she break down on the trip there. I hope that helps, and good luck whichever way you choose!Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456821621154171941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484294216621973889.post-9223061364865322492012-02-26T19:07:43.299-08:002012-02-26T19:07:43.299-08:00Driving would be my choice, as it gives you a buil...Driving would be my choice, as it gives you a built in mode of transportation, storage space and a place.
