WTH was I thinking. I added an extra day somehow in my head :-p We should be getting home around Monday at 1 am not Tuesday.

After looking at the map zoomed in looks like 90 turns into 94 at some point after Madison So yeay we wont be going north on 94 out of Chicago.

Also a big plus if we get tired we can stop an extra time if needed.

Also well probably be in Cleveland around 3 hours after we leave Niagara falls which is planned to be around 10-11 pm there time. So probably late lunch time ish.

 

Ah that's awesome man. I LOVE a good long road trip. It looks like everyone already gave you some pretty good tips, I guess I would just say don't forget a good flashlight.

 

You may already be very aware of this consideration, Vamp, but if you run through cold temperatures (say, anything below 45' F) in the rain, be very cautious about hydroplaning, especially if the car's treads are anywhere near the end of their lifespan. And especially on an Interstate while overtaking transport trailer trucks that can throw off a massive bow wave of water that you move into just as you come even with their front bumper -- a moment at which you can also re-emerge into a cross-wind that the truck has een shielding you from. This is the voice of experience talking. Gives a whole new meaning to the notion of roadsurfing.

Drive safe.

 

I checked the weather and I looks like sunny skys the entire way. But that could always change. The tires have 7600 miles on them so there probley at 1/2 life.

 

Get into the downtown area and try a restaurant called "Lola's". If you ever watch Food Network, it's the restaurant of Michael Symon. If you like corned beef sandwiches, I'd highly recommend "Slymon's". As long as it's not around St. Patty's Day, the line shouldn't be too long (otherwise it can be hours of waiting in line).


As far as the weather goes, is the car on stock RE050s? If you are getting LBP, then you have VSA on that car so it might help you out a bit if you run into some bad weather. Having said that, RoadSurfer1 makes a very good point about hyrdoplaning so you definitely want to be cautious of that.... looks like you are clear for the most part though... just a bit chilly.

 

Aaah. I saw the "Tuesday" comment and thought he was talking about Monday evening...

 

Stock tires. car has 7600 miles on it.

Well look into this lola's place :-)

 

PROBLEM!! It seems every SINGLE hotel in the state of NY along 90 or 86 are sold out......... We have been on the phone for 2 hours and cant find anything in NY to stay at.

So now where not seeing Niagara falls and will probley be staying somewhere east of NY as going west will be to late. Well already be up for 16 hours when we start our drive so we need to stop somewhere.

 

Do you have your passports? If so, hop over the border and stay on the Canada side. Check on hotels.com.. you can find cheap rates for rooms. My ex and I used to meet there all the time and we found great deals

 

Expired passports....
