buddy of mine flies 700 miles every two weeks to meet his gf... they have been together for 4 or 5 years I cant say but they are marriage material.
My girlfriend migrated from the Netherlands to Sweden for me, I would easily do the same for her. So is a 1.5 hour drive worth it......? If you are not a senior with alzheimers disease and a bad heart.... Yes.
It sounds more expensive than it really is... some cheap airline does it for 60$ for both ways so its allright
