But now our airline has come to compete your airlines into bankruptcy over cross-atlantic flight costs, so it ought to become cheaper to fly from USA to Oslo than it will be to fly within USA :P

It definitely is not cheap to fly within the USA, that's for sure...

I fly about 4 times a year on average on my own dime. It blows.

Plus, most times it isn't just me. Me and wife, or me, then wife, etc. So a total of like 8 flights a year.

Ouch. Hopefully you get to do fun stuff on the other end of them.

The cost of airfare is one of the reasons that we take the massive car trips. Gets expensive way too quickly with more than 1 or 2 flying... that and it lets us take a break whenever we want to go see whatever we come across.

I can't handle being in a car for long periods of time. Whenever we go visit my inlaws in MN, its about 14-16 hour drive and I just want to die by the end.

We did a cross-country trip by car a few years back and that was fine. So long as there are stops, I can handle long car trips.

I love cross-country trips. We end up doing one every other year or so. Pretty frequent stops are a key to making them successful though... also, having some leeway so that if you see something cool you can just pull over and go check it out. We ended up at a few very very cool places by doing that.
