Hello, I read your last post and felt bad for you, so I did a little quick checking and I have some possible suggestions. I am posting under this topic because if any of them work, they might really cheer you up. (over the weekend or now) Also, I don't mean to bring up painful things again if you are trying to put them and the unfairness of life behind you, but I figured that a possible solution would be worth the risk.
That being said, have you tried Amtrak or Greyhound? I looked up round-trip fairs from El Paso, TX(they didn't have Silver City, NM listed, it was either El Paso, TX Tucson, AZ or Albuquerque, NM and I thought El Paso looked the closest on a map)to San Diego, CA with the dates of May 5 for departure and May 20 as the return and I came up with what I thought were some very reasonable prices.
For Amtrak using the above info the price for one standard adult came to $212.00, but if you are a member of AAA they offer a discount and then the price becomes $190.80.
When I tried the above info for Greyhound I came up with $112.00 for 1 standard adult, but they also offered a discount for 3-day advanced purchase.
Both Amtrak and Greyhound have a 15% student discount as well but you have to have a "Student Advantage" card that costs 20 dollars(+S&H) and it doesn't stack with any of the other discounts.
The web address for Amtrak is: http://www.amtrak.com/
And the address for Greyhound is: http://www.greyhound.com/
