Our plans were to travel just short of 300 miles to Erie, PA and overnight there. With about 120 miles to go to Niagara Falls, tomorrow would be a very manageable travel day. We got going early this morning, and everything was going our way. The weather was decent. No wind, for a change. We had rain chasing us down the interstate, so that was part of our incentive to keep moving. Saturday traffic around Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland was a breeze. The Ohio Turnpike was down right dreamy.
We got to Erie at 2:15. And, that was way too early to stop! We called our park in Niagara Falls and asked if we could come in a day early. They said, "Come on down!" So, we kept driving. We flew through a little slice of Pennsylvania, and the New York Thruway was a piece of cake. (Well, except that pesky compartment door opened just before the toll booth. This time the attendant beat it into submission!) We pulled into our cozy park just after 4:00.
With that, we're a day ahead. Yeah!

WTG you travelers! Hope you enjoy Niagara Falls much more than we did when we visited several years ago! We took a tour over one evening and then the next day went over to Canada by ourselves and drove down to the little town of Niagara On The Lake, which we enjoyed much more than the over-commercialized falls area.
Have a great time!!
yippee for you!!..now sit back and relax..you deserve it!!
Way to be motivated there guys!! Glad you made it through all the tough places with ease!! Now you can relax and enjoy your time in Niagra Falls!! Have fun!

The stars must have been aligned just right for you today. Driving through those cities can most of the time be a giant Excederin headache. Nice going.
Wow- you have matched our longest day ever. Enjoy the falls!
Sounds like you had a wonderful travel day. Time to relax.
