When I touched the vortex and started mentoring for 195 in 1998, it was 45 minutes each way.
No point in going home, so my day started at 6:00 am, and went to 10 pm.
Every day, during the build season.

Now my trip is much shorter (15 minutes), so I can go home after work and more easily return to our build site.

Also, the district system is so much better. Sat-Sun competitions, no time off of work.
Also good from a field trip standpoint for the students. No school missed.
We used to travel to Philly on a coach bus and stay in expensive hotels.
Now we use a school bus, and if we travel to a competition that is farther from home, the hotels are less expensive. This year, every competition is a day trip.
