That is the EXACT same distance as it is for me from Minnesota to Ohio where I grew up! There were many times, when I couldn't afford to fly that I'd get in the car at around 2:30am and drive all day to get to Ohio around dinner time. Our bus and train service isn't the greatest in America so it would have taken 2-3x longer than driving to get there that way and it would have been more expensive. Thanks, enjoy your afternoon as well!
