Chip's comment about the drive to Bar Harbor being pretty damn awful were spot on. I do not think I will do that ever again.

From where?

WhrDLMI

To here / home. It took us 14 hours to get home yesterday and we were pretty good with our stops - kept them short and tried to use rest areas that were fast-on/fast-off. We hit EPIC traffic in Connecticut and followed all the way around NYC. It was horrible, Jim. HORRIBLE!

14 hours? Dang

WhrDLMI

Dang indeed. That is 4'ish hours longer than our usual Dragon trip.

My problem is that I look at what flights cost (+/-$600 for two tickets from DC to Bangor, Maine) and decide that driving isn't so bad after all. Then I drive it and I'm all like "OMGWTFBBQ that was HORRIBLE!" and swear to never do it again... Until I look at flights and decide, once again, driving isn't so bad.

It is a vicious circle!

Yep, I have done it in an S2000 with... harnesses lol

I know... I am preaching to the choir.

I thought I was prepared for it but... NOPE. Maybe I'm just getting old or something.

Well I've noticed I have to stop to pee now... used to be able to go non stop until the car needed gas

600 bucks to fly for both? I am figuring the flight is probably about 2 hours, so you wasted 24 hours of you and Bobbies time (12 hours each). That works out to be $25 bucks an hour. I'd say fly next time.

And we haven't even gotten into the cost of gas, tolls, wear and tear.
