My ferry fare is over $300 round trip, and 2 hr drive each way.
I often accumulate a whole buncha sale stuff over a month, sometimes longer for Xtra charge.
For you maybe a long drive, or short flight, rent a car/trailer.
I have saved Soo much $$$, and the wife's real lucky in the Casinos.
The holiday is often very worth it, - for her ! ! lol
