We arise at some ridiculous hour in order to be on the road before 4:15am (thanks to CW who reminded us that only idiots (hint hint) attempt to drive through Chicago just before, during or just after morning rush hour).
It worked, by 6:00, we had made it to the first rest stop in Indiana.
7:00 - Driving
8:00 - More driving
9:00 - Yet more driving (Welcome to Ohio)
10:00 - Still yet more driving
11:00 - Yes dammit we're still driving
12:00 - What else, we're driving (welcome to Pennsylvania)
1:00 - Hooray it is afternoon - no, no nap today - keep driving (welcome to New York)
2:00 - God, I hate Buffalo
3:00 - I also hate Rochester (and it has started to rain)
4:00 - Syracuse sucks, but at least it isn't snowing
5:00 - Don't know where we are - between rain and fog - who cares anyway
6:00 - Amsterdam - when did we cross the ocean?
6:35 - Home - it only took 13 1/2 hours (I know somewhere we lost an hour, but who's counting) A mere 888.7 miles approximately.
All in all - one really great trip (even if we didn't get to 3000 miles).

You're welcome for the friendly advice, would hate to have seen you stuck on the Kennedy for hours on end. Looks like all in all it was a really good trip. Was nice to see some of the family pictures, since I have virtually no idea of that part of the family tree.
But what did you do all day?
