FWA2013: The Big Drive
12 years ago
In about 12 to13 hours from when I write this I hope to have begun the longest one way drive of my life: NYC to Atlanta over a day and a half; I expect to arrive at the Westin between 2 and 5 pm on Thursday after a layover in Charlotte, depending on the traffic on I75/85 in the city (those who have driven in ATL know what I am talking about). This will all depend on how I feel in the next 12 hours as I feel like I may get sick (probably a strep throat). It could just be tiredness as I have had a lot of stress in the past week trying to get ready or mild dehydration from the prep for the Colonoscopy exam I had last Thursday. Hopefully I will make it and enjoy FWA for the first time since 2010. :)
For those who are interested the distance for me will be 881-883 miles to ATL and 643 miles to Charlotte according to Google Maps. My longest one way drive for me was back in 2007 from Cedar Point to home at 511 miles and 9.5 hours with two 30 minute breaks.

Thank You. It took 950 miles (a few side trips) and I arrived just before 6pm Thursday after stopping for an hour at Tiger Direct, an hour north of Atlanta.
