I figured that it would be expensive to ship but how expensive is the question lol. With the window of time we have, I don't know if driving would be an option. Google maps says its 36 hours of drive time, which I think would be a little too much. I don't think that I want to give up 4 days to driving. It may just be that we have to find some where closer as much as I really had my heart set on going out there. I'm sure a big cooler would be just as expensive to fly back with as it would be to ship it.
