We have done it several times before and it stunk, but we still got home around 11 or 11:30. This time, we weren't going to get home until after 2 am, and just didn't want to deal with 3 1/2 hours of driving rain.

I will tell you though that we are now seriously considering the flight leaving at 8 am in future, as it didn't hurt nearly as badly as I thought it would!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />
