You're are correct. It would be cheaper to take the plane or train and safer too.

They only took home $290,490 after taxes and they're taking a motorhome on vacation? With today's gas prices, I'd say that is going crazy!

Congrats to them, glad they won. A 74 year old shouldn't have to be working the night shift to make ends meet! Happy travels, you two
