Local Fill vs Non-Local Fill

So today is my first fill in Lincoln, about 30 miles away. My first 3 fills were with my surgeon in Denver.

Here's the difference in travel-

Third fill in Denver:

Wake up around 4:30am, leave the house by 5:00. Drive 1 hour to the Omaha airport, park, get in and through security, board plane by 7:00 or so. Fly for 1 hour to Denver, arrive at 7:30 there (change of time zones). Kill several hours in the airport because I can hang out on the airport floor. Get rental car around 9:30, drive to shopping mall near my doc's office. Get something to eat, hang out in my rental car reading for several hours. Head to doc's office for appointment around 2:00, spend maybe 45 minutes to an hour there. Head back to airport, return car, get through security. Get something to eat, read, and watch my flight get delayed. Finally board by 9:30. Fly for an hour, arrive in Omaha at midnight. Wait for an hour to get a shuttle to the parking lot, another 1/2 an hour to get through the attendant. Then, 1 hour drive home. Get home about 2:30 to 3:00 am.

Local fill in Lincoln:

Get up 6:15, shower, get the kids up and ready at 7:00. Pack breakfast for the car, drive 1 hour to my brother's house. Whatch my 3 nephews (and my two girls) while my brother goes to court (don't worry, he's a cop, he's on the good side of the courtroom). Spend the rest of the morning hanging with my brother and all of our kids. Drive 20 minutes back into Lincoln for appointment at about 12:15. Do fill (under flouro for the first time at my new doc). Head back to my brother's to get my kids, maybe hang out for a while longer while the kids swim this afternoon. Head home to meet my hubby getting home for work, maybe around 6:30-7:00.

Sure sounds a lot nicer, huh?
