Arrived
July 6, 2008
Arrived in Newark, NJ. I gotta say I love hotwire.com. You get rooms at really cheap rates and they are always really nice. I've used them 3 times now and I have always been impressed. Use them and you will be too. Anyway, we got to Newark at around 10pm. The trip was supposed to be 12 hours...we left at 6:30am from IL so technically we left at 7:30am EST. 7:30am to 10pm. 14.5 hours? Not bad. We stopped and ate twice and both times it was like we were dealing with people who didn't realize that they were supposed to help the customer. Just waiting in line for fast food we wasted like 45 minutes! Plus getting gas and then when we were about 47 minutes from Newark we hit some crazy traffic and it added about 1.5 hours. Boooo...Well, at least we made it! Tomorrow is an off day we are going to visit some family and get my beer-making equipment that was left here when we moved. Oh yeah and I'm surprising my dad and taking him to Elysian Fields where the first baseball game was played. Can't wait for the games!
