According to our GPS, we have 15 hours of driving left. If we don't stop, we'd be there at 10:30 tonight. We are very seriously considering driving straight through and getting there tonight.

LMK, if you go down 84, you literally whale right by my house. I'll buy some burgs and dogs if so, and do some grilling. That goes for anyone coming down tonight through I-84 in CT. My house is open if there is crashing for a few needed. It'll just be me and this 30-pack, so stop on in. |

To be honest, I'm not even sure what the GWB is. I know I'm on same route Kurt is, I-80 to I-287, then I-95 the rest of the way.

If you're going 287 through NJ, you might be all right, but the Tappan Zee bridge still backs up when the GWB does. |

I was expecting some traffic around NYC anyway. Is there a better route I should go?

You could go 80-81-84-384-6-195/95 from PA and from the tip of 81, it's 6 hours. This post has been edited by bnr32celica: Sep 20, 2013 - 4:44 PM |

Tappan Zee bridge is usually a much better route than going over the George Washington bridge, but since you guys aren't from around here, it might be a little hard to figure out
