How am I going to get to Chicago?

My son graduates soon from Navy boot camp, how do I get there? With not enough savings to speak of I thought I would borrow from my 401k. Well that was a bust. Then recently I remembered a friend was leaving the state to drive back to her state and I was to go with her, but she had to leave sooner than I could leave. So I thought I will drive to Chicago. The dilemma came to figure out who I could get to go with me. I thought of my oldest but did not know if he could go or help pay for the trip. So I emailed Jon my sons father and asked if he wanted to drive with me, he said yes. Problem solved! I then started to worry if my car would make it which was unnecessary because my car has never given me any trouble. The trip was to take 30 hours, not too terribly bad I thought. I got my tires checked out, had the oil changed. Jon came over to check all the fluid levels everything seemed fine. So off we went Jon my daughter and myself.
