Philadelphia bound

Tuesday, May 1, 2007 On to Philadelphia

I am starting to come down with a sore throat so I head over to Target at 8 am to buy aspirin and start taking that every four hours.

Toni has another culinary treat for our breakfast; some sort of French toast thing with chopped almonds. It was great. Yesterday’s breakfast held us over for six hours before we were hungry again.

After getting driving directions to Philly from Mapquest, I review them with Toni. He suggests a better, faster route based on the time of day we would be getting into the city. It was a southern route instead of a northern route on the Interstate. Based on the traffic, that would have taken longer than the highway.

It was an easy drive to get to Philly and Toni’s directions were right on the mark. Only one adjustment, he was thinking I would take the 322 south as one of the turns, but that highway goes east. It was easy to figure out, as I knew I had to go east to get to Philadelphia from Lancaster.

Here is the way to get from Lancaster to Philadelphia, PA:

Highway 30 east about 12 miles

Hwy 41 south about 15 miles

Hwy 1 north about 10 miles

Hwy 322 east about 15 miles and then

Interstate 95 north to Philadelphia, passing the airport on the way into town
