Gear's long drive

Hey guys! I'm currently in Indianapolis after driving about 9 hours from North Carolina. My ass hurts from sitting all day so I'm looking forward to lying down...

5 more hours to Chicago...

Indy to Chicago is only about 3 hours, plus the traffic delay at the Indiana/Illinois border. If you're going to the north side of things, add about 30 minutes. But of course, I doubt you'll read this until you get here.

Nope. I got it

I'm still at the hotel since I'm taking my sweet time. I was actually hoping that it would be 5 hours since I just bought the DaVinci code on Audible for the last leg of the trip.

Btw, all those in the other thread who told me to get an ipass, I thank you. Turns out Ipass works at places that take EZPass (i.e. West Virginia tollway). That was pretty sweet.

Have a great trip. I just got back from Chicago with training with the Chicago fire department. Great group of people but even after my four hour drive my bum started to hurt

I'm here in Chicago! That damned traffic on 94 was a pain, but the audiobook made it go by quickly. I'm a big fan of audiobooks now, and a big fan of the DaVinci Code, although I now understand why some Christians want to boycott it. Even though I'm not religious, I can definately see some inflammatory stuff in it. Still, it's a great book although I'm not sure how far I'm into it.

Welcome to the area. If you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes.
