Default Moving the Lady

So I got orders to Suitland, Maryland a couple days ago not Florida like I wanted. So anyways Linda is in Bumville, Washington state. So here are the choices for getting her to Maryland.

A: Pack my bags, and drive her all the way 2,821 mi – about 1 day 18 hours says google

B: get a Uhaul strap her in, get a truck, and do a massive road trip across america hitting all the landmarks....Vegas, Salt Lake City, Mt. RushMoore, Grand Canyon...etc

C: Ship her, and fly


What would you do????


EDIT: July 14, 2008 23:46

Didn't want to create a new thread on the same, or similiar issue. I'm trying to find housing in Maryland. I have searched most of the normal housing sites, and I'm on craigslist daily, yet can't find what I want. I'm looking for housing for rent in between D.C., and Baltimore with a garage. I don't think I would be able to sleep soundly at night without one. Price range max is $1490. Please HELP, or refer me to somewhere/someone new. Thanks again everyone

You two are the better side of this site...most didn't post just cause of
the thought of driving a Nismo cross country disgust them...I already drove to Canada with her from Seattle for New Years, and had a blast...ran into every exotic out there not really, but you know what I mean...

I made Houston - LA and back hitting some landmarks (meteor crater, grand canyon, hoover dam, las vegas) along I 40 and coming back on I 10 and was one of the damn better trip I had on my previous 350z.
actually it was one of the better trip in my life

If you purchased your car to look at it in the garage, then ship it. If you purchased your Nismo because you like to DRIVE, why not take three or four days and enjoy the time in your car?

I most likely will do "C" cause it's less hassle, but the Navy gives you $1,500+extra for moving allowance if I drive...so if I do B drive straight to DC I might be able to pocket most of it.....

Like my edited post states I need help. 23 days before I'm back stateside, then a short month of R&R, which most of that will be a drunken blur, then I'm in Maryland. Two duffle bags, my soul, and Lin'da is all I got, we need a nice place to stay...Help

DITY moves will normally net you some money. Just make sure you weigh yourstuff completely empty to include gas and then loaded completely to get most money.
