Cruise to memphis-graceland

[TonyNo]

Don't forget that the original plan from post #1 looks to account for an hour of gas getting, leg stretching, and lunch eating.

If I leave my house at 8, I'd get to Memphis around 6 pm, but, adding 30 minutes for lunch and two 15 minute stops for gas/leg stretching pushes that to 7 pm in Memphis.

Can anyone make a case for needing to get there at 5 pm?

We will be at the McDonald's at 8:30. When you get there, you get there.

Okay so Mapquest saids it takes 9 hours 22 min. but my NUVI which I trust like GOD saids it takes 8 hours 12 min. I know we are going to hit some construction zones which slow the mph to 45 in Ill and 55 in other states, SO I think 9 hours is a safe bet. Now if we add two 15 min gas breaks and one half hour lunch break and tack on an extra half hour for uncertainty, thats 10 and 1/2 hours. AND thats from my place. Manteno takes an hour and one half off that so lets say 9 1/2 .

If we leave Manteno at 8:30 we get there at 6
1/2 hour to check into the hotel makes 6 30
Do we want to wash our cars at a spray wash before dinner before the sun sets?
Do we want to go straight to dinner
I know Im thinking Im gonna be looking for a spray self serve wash as soon as I pull off the expressway That may put myself at another 20-30 minutes for a quick wash before Im ready for dinner


we also have to be up early for the 9 Tour and probably get bfast before the tour

I would prefer to leave Manteno at 8:30 so we guarantee that we get there in daylight and have an opportunity to enjoy a nice dinner somewhere.

But its not up to me, this is a DEMOCRACY, LOL.
