Exactly. Getting there is 9/10ths the battle.

I was just going to drive to the airport parking. Return would have been a little easier as it is right off the bike trail after I arrive back at the train station in Pittsburgh.. But I went with Super Shuttle so I don't need to worry about the car staring. driving etc. Plus it will be a lot cheaper. Parking is plan B.

Downside is, it is a bit of a climb up to my house from the bike trail. But it could be worse. My new house is only halfway up that hill the old place was at the to and then after I got up that hill I still had another to get to my place. I used to live in one of the the highest points in the county. Now I just live in one of the second highest places in the county.
