The is an account of my solo cross-country drive from Massachusetts to California, taking the southern route of I-40W (for most of the way).
Day 1 (MA to Herndon VA); Total drive time - 9 hours 45 minutes; Gas total - $29.69; Tolls - $23.95
It was a beautiful, sunny day; cold in the 30's degrees Fahrenheit but dry. I drove across 7 states (MA, CT, NY, NJ, DE, MD, VA), crossed 3 bridges (the Leonard P Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge in Boston MA, the George Washington Bridge in NYC and the Delaware Memorial Bridge in DE) and paid many tolls (@ the MA Turnpike, NJ Turnpike, DE Memorial Bridge, DE Turnpike, MD Fort McHenry Tunnel and the IAD Airports Authority). By the time I arrived at the Hilton Washington Dulles Airport hotel in Herndon, VA, I was wiped out.
