So tomorrow morning I get up, pack the pup go check on something for the girls then hit the road to head down to Bethesda to spend the holiday with the sister.

So here comes my dilema.

Do I:

1. go more or less the direct/straight shot (NYS I-90 to NYSI-390 to US 15 to I-270)

2. the way mapquest takes me, (US 219 to lots of PA routes to I 270)

3. take the Yahoo maps way (US I-90 to I-70 to I-70 to I-270)

Pros and cons of each:

1. Pro: I know the route mostly. And all highway Con: some tolls, longest time (8+ hours) wise and has tolls Side thought: drive past Reptiland

2. Pro: shortest time (little over 7 hours) Con: lots of "Where the hell am I" Pennsylvania, never driven it (not sure how much is highway) good chance of getting lost

3. Pro: All hightway Con: PA Turnpike, lots of tols never driven this route side note: time almost the same as option one

All depends on weather. You're a snow belt child, so you know the gig with roads.

1) I take the exit at Batavia and cut the corner through Mt. Morris, which saves 20 minutes and is scenic. It's well maintained during foul weather. Best route, IMO. You can possibly cut some additional time off it by taking 83 into Baltimore and then I-95 to The Beltway. Much depends on rush hours, and I suspect 4pm is gonna suck no matter where you are in Thanksgiving Wednesday. Just make sure you are in the left lane when you get to Frederick.

2) Not on a bet. Maybe in the summer.

3) I am told it is somehow faster. I prefer the US 15 corridor anyway.
