The only way I can figure out how to do this: First fly from Oregon to Phoenix, it is a direct flight, I can stay at the house there a couple of days and enjoy the sun Cost is 170.00 one way By a round trip ticket from Phoenix to Durham 376.00 You can get a direct flight from there. Then buy a one way ticket from Phoenix back to Portland 170.00 cost for one dog is 400.00 It is about 180 miles from Durham to the show site so will need to rent a car and drive to Charlotte. so 1110.00 in plane tickets and the cost of a rental car :0) I think I am going to have to give this some serious thought. If it was the first week in Oct. I would consider driving but Nov. is too much of a risk for weather too close, to the holidays for me. Buy the time you drive a week it is Mid Novemeber and no way are you going to miss the snow in the mountain passes.
