 So long. Farewell. Aufwiedersehn. Goodbye Hey y'all The time has finally come to bid "Goodbye" to sweet Buffalo. Yes, yours truly is headed down to 'Land of Lincoln' - Illinois. I may have graduated but I'm still a poor, starving student with a mountain of debt and no job (yet!) in sight. So I'm heading on down to Bloomington, IL; to stay with my aunt, study for my lisencing exam and see what happens thence. Hey, why pay for food and rent when you can stay with someone and mooch for free?   I would LOVE to stay on in the Queen City, but alas, there is no employer willing to take me on and file for immigration papers on my behalf (even the prestigious Roswell Park Cancer Institute had no expenrience in dealing with foreign workers  )So, I've discarded most of my possessions. I've packed my things. Now all that remains is to load up "Old Dog" (my dinky little 2 door Neon) and drive down to Bloomington. I checked the route and it's fairly simple (albeit long). So I'm trying to decide if I ought to do the run in one shot - or stop overnight some place and resume journey the next day? I'm thinking I can do it one shot - but my car is nearly 10 years old. Plus I'll be loaded down with a lot of luggage and stuff (I have nearly 70 lbs in books alone!) What say you folks? Should I run in one go? Or do I stop? And if I'm to stop, where? Ohio? cheers,

| Re: So long. Farewell. Aufwiedersehn. Goodbye Do it in two days. Yeah, it could be done in one, but it would be killer. Besides, you'll want to stop at "The mistake by the lake" (Cleveland) and visit the Rock N' Roll hall of fame. I'd stay overnight in Toledo if you're going thru Chicago, or Columbus if you're taking the southern route out of Cleveland. Best of luck, drive safely, keep the shiny side up, etc. etc. BTW, if my memory serves, our own Maurice (Wing'd Icarus) lives in Bloomington. Maybe you guys could get together & have a beer. Also, Fulghy makes a swallows-to-Capistrano-like journey there every now & then.
