If you're planning on taking I-80 through the Chicagoland area be prepared to
face some of the worst construction you can imagine. Fortunately you'll be
coming from the east so it won't be as bad though. Be prepared for *massive*
delays and all sorts of shenanigans everywhere. I highly recommend
travelling through the area during non-rush hour times. You're looking at 4
hours or so from Dayton so if you get an early start that'll put you in the
area about lunchtime so you shouldn't bad off. Just remember to watch your
speed, they've got cops in orange construction vests pretending to work just
so they can catch speeders.
When it gets closer to your trip date shoot me a message offlist and I'll
give you the scoop on the construction in that area, I drive through there at
least 3 days a week.
If you're interested I'd be willing to meet up for a beer or something while
you're in the area. There's a really good Buffalo Wild Wings just off of
I-80 near me. Jason and Norah stamped it with their approval last time they
were through in December.
