Driving in along the Northeast corridor (DC - Boston) is a royal pain! It
is not an enjoyable thing to do. The thought of being in a car for 6 hours
is not something I like. But then again, I'll be riding my bicycle from High
Point NJ (Northwest NJ) to Cape May (Southeast NJ) in a single day. So maybe
I'm not a good measure. ;-)
