marathon man

Having spent the past week in a collective workcamp to help resuscitate the tropical dry evergreen forest,

why am i traveling for two days up to Delhi by bus and train to pick up Sara and the kids and bring them back the same day, again by rail, instead of flying them down here for an extra two or three hundred bucks?

Is it simply that planes are an abomination and that the money could build a checkdam on this severely eroded land? Or am i just a cheapskate?
