I am Sarah-Jane Case and this is Anya Graham and Coffee.

Hello friends welcome back to the podcast. I hope your day is treating you well.

Today we are packing up and heading to Atlanta. We're going to stay there the night

before we leave for San Francisco and so with that in mind we're all home. The husband and the

kiddo are packing up their things so you might hear some lifestyle sounds in the background.

That's just kind of what we're working with today and you know it's the best we can do.

With that in mind I was really going back and forth about whether or not going to Atlanta

was a weird choice so we are about three four hours from Atlanta and it's a bit of a drive to

fly out of there but we have the Southwest companion pass. My husband can fly for like five bucks

on Southwest and there wasn't there isn't a Southwest airport like terminal here and where we live

and there's not even a flight to San Francisco from the terminal where we are closest to so

Atlanta was the closest flight we could get with Southwest to San Francisco and we thought you know

what let's do it let's try it out and you know I think it actually makes more sense because flying

from Asheville to Atlanta for the three of us was like insane it was like a thousand dollars just

for us to fly that 30-minute flight and then it's like that's more expensive than our flight to

San Francisco from Atlanta so it makes more sense for us to just fly to you know drive to Atlanta

have a place to park our car will you know shuttle out from there and I think it'll be I think it

makes sense it's just inconvenient I have friends who like only fly direct and they only ever fly

with a carry on they like prefer everything to be streamlined and simple and I am not like that

I'm very much like I will save a buck I will be inconvenience in order to like save that money

and I think if we lived in a larger city I might be more concerned with flying direct you know

because I would have that option but living here we just like never can fly direct it's very rare
