I did not wonder, i did a little research.

Not sure where you how you arrived at your assumptions, but the cheapest airfare I could find was for about $235 per person roundtrip. That’s $470 for 2 people. But it leaves at 5:25AM! And takes over 7 hours! Not sure where you got 3 ½ hours from JFK, there are no direct flights that I could find. Times 3 weekends = $1,410

Soft cost – travel time to airport plus extra 2.5 hours once you are to park car and get through security. Loss of about 2 days for travel. 4 – 10 hours each way. I’m at Paragon and on the trails in less time.
Park car at airport - $10+ per day. 3 days = $30 x 3 weekends = $90.

$100+ for food shopping each weekend. No eating out. X 3 weekends = $300
Above is up to $1,800!

Now add all the costs for leaving your Hummer there.

Not appealing to me. On the assumption that you travel Friday and Sunday night, things get worse. Those are some of the busiest times at the airports. Might work for snowmobilers, not me.
Come and join us at Paragon. It’s the best the east has to offer.
