We left Dover shortly after 10:30 yesterday morning - not exactly what anyone would call the height of rush hour. It took us well over an hour to get to the maryland line - 53 miles away. The rest of the trip, through MD and into VA, which is another 75 miles, only took an hour - get me out of Delaware, PULEASE!!!!!!!
