Chip's comment about the drive to Bar Harbor being pretty damn awful were spot on. I do not think I will do that ever again.

To here / home. It took us 14 hours to get home yesterday and we were pretty good with our stops - kept them short and tried to use rest areas that were fast-on/fast-off. We hit EPIC traffic in Connecticut and followed all the way around NYC. It was horrible, Jim. HORRIBLE!

Dang indeed. That is 4'ish hours longer than our usual Dragon trip.
My problem is that I look at what flights cost (+/-$600 for two tickets from DC to Bangor, Maine) and decide that driving isn't so bad after all. Then I drive it and I'm all like "OMGWTFBBQ that was HORRIBLE!" and swear to never do it again... Until I look at flights and decide, once again, driving isn't so bad.
It is a vicious circle!

I know... I am preaching to the choir.
I thought I was prepared for it but... NOPE. Maybe I'm just getting old or something.

And we haven't even gotten into the cost of gas, tolls, wear and tear.
