Fuzzy made some really great suggestions about driving.
Katie, if you can break up your trip over a few days that sounds like a great idea. The airfare sounds really expensive.  I'll look into some car storage places for you (my twin brother that lives in NYC is in town for the weekend and might have some good leads). PS: you might want to look into a monthly pass at a local garage, as it is much cheaper (~$300). Central Parking Monthly Rates

Maria, that is a very smart idea. And what makes it even better is that we could put a mattress in the back of our vehicle
 Everything folds flat and it would hold a double size air mattress or foamy. Dr. J, that is brilliant too! A monthly would be so much more affordable at those prices, and if by chance I had to stay longer, then we would not be stressing about it in that department. Thanks to both of you.

Justin, the other thing about flying, when I went to that supersaver website, was that almost all of the flights were five to seven hours because of layovers...that's almost the full time required for driving! Sheesh
