Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

If memory serves (since I was contemplating this very thing last fall), it's about three 1/2 hours. It's a straight shot on the highway so I imagine it can vary widely depending on traffic.

That's not bad at all (pretty much the same distance I had this weekend going up to Vermont). I was going to take a week off and make several stops on the way down and back (Northampton in MA, outside of Baltimore in MD, State College in PA, Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte, maybe New York City), so adding another leg (and a couple of days on one end of the week off or the other) to the trip doesn't seem too bad an option. I had hoped it would be more of a mid-winter trip, but early May shouldn't be too bad even that far south.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

May is nice down South. It's August that'll kill you. Where are you coming from, Frank?

Ann, that's a ferret.

If memory serves (since I was contemplating this very thing last fall), it's about three 1/2 hours.

I did the drive from DC to Atlanta back in '91-'92. I remember Charlotte to Atlanta as the easy part because there's very little traffic between Greenville/Spartanburg and the outskirts of Atlanta.

Where are you coming from, Frank?

Salem, MA or there abouts (I may stop for a night in Northampton on my way out).

If it helps for your planning purposes, I've driven to and from Weston quite a bit for holidays, and (barring crazy Thanksgiving traffic) it's pretty consistently 7 hours, which would mean Baltimore would be about 7 for you. Of course, this would assume that you also go about 80 mph on the Pike/84/91 stretch to New Haven.

There's a good sale from LAX on Northwest right now.

So is May 4 solid enough to start requesting vacation time?

The header at the top still reads:

Perhaps a Stompy could update it?
