I should have no problem leaving here by 5 am because I will be too excited to sleep, and that should put me in Cincinnati before 10 am.

Did I read correctly that there is a gas station close to the Hooters gathering spot?
I was going to suggest cruising down on Wednesday with us big city folk, but it looks like it'd be way out of the way since we're going through Niagara Falls.. But you should still come on wednesday for dinner!

I'd suggest coming down on Wednesday night..otherwise, you are throwing in 5 hours to get to Cinci (there is a gas station down the street from the meeting point), and then driving several more hours to the Dragon.. it's one thing to make the trek once... it's another to do it twice in 4 days. just my $.02.

btw..I'll be leaving Cleveland around 12, driving through Columbus around 2, and should be in Cinci no later than 4~4:30.

Thanks for the invite. I looked hard at leaving after work on Wednesday, but I wouldn't make it to Cinci in time for dinner, maybe in time for drinks. In the end decided to just leave early on Thursday, spend wednesday evening packing the car, jump out of bed early and hit the road. I will avoid congestion at the border that early in the morning and should be smooth sailing down I-75 after that.

Is it time to got yet?

I thought there might be a "possibility" someone wouldn't be in bed by that time.

It is going to be one helluva nice drive. I would leave now if I could and enjoy 10 hours no problem.
