Oh, yes, you'd better believe that I've already planned to avoid Windsor
and Detroit. No offense to anyone who lives there (Hi Adam!), I just
don't feel like dealing with the traffic. The route from Toronto goes on
the 401 over to the 402 to Sarnia, then crosses over to Port Huron. I-69
from there through Flint and Lansing. Technically, I don't have to choose
until we get in to Indiana, whether to turn on to I-80 or to continue on
I-69 south to Indianapolis to pick up I-70. I'd just like to have a plan
before we head out.

In the East I know that's true, I just wasn't sure about Kansas, Nebraska,
Wyoming, etc.

Well, this trip isn't exactly under six hours. I'm hoping it will be done
within *thirty* six hours :-).

Yep, we definitely agree with you there. My mom thinks we're crazy, but
we're looking forward to it. Probably I won't be looking forward to the
trip back, though.
