Some rest stop in PA to Middletown, CT
~400 miles
6 hours driving

The Long March, cont.
This is really just an extension of the previous day, as I only stopped to sleep at some rest stop. I picked up a chicken sandwich at a truck stop Burger King in the middle of the night and got myself one of those kids meal crowns that BK gives out. I wore it for the remainder of the trip. I got lots of funny looks for that, and a car full of girls found it enormously humorous.

Got to see the sun rise nicely as I drove into New York and over the Hudson. Made it to Middletown without incident and arrived at Nina's place. We drove in a caravan to Hartford, where I dropped off the Impala. In the end, I had put over 3,300 miles on it in 8 days of driving. It was a good car for a road trip--especially when I was only charged for the compact I reserved. Not a cheap way to go across the country anyway, but reasonable.

The rest of the day I spent loafing around in CT recuperating from my weird night of driving.
