Made the trip in 9.5 hrs once. Most of the time it takes a little over 10. Last week it took 12.5 due to snow on 77 all the way through VA and WVA.
I figure I can shave an hour off the trip with the Elio. 2 thermoses full of coffee, a bag lunch and the diaper. I guess it Depends...
I think there's a homicidal female astronaut out there that can give advice on the best diaper for long distance driving.

I am leaving my house now but will not head to Charlotte until this afternoon. I hope to leave the northern Atlanta suburbs around 3 PM and beat the early Friday Atlanta rush out of town. Hopefully that works out and I will check into the Residence Inn Charlotte South at I-77/Tyvola Road a couple of hours later. If I have time I will try to make to the mall for the last hour or so tonight.

Tomorrow, Saturday, I plan to be at the mall about the time they open and stay until we decide to go to lunch. rdoearth is coming up from Atlanta tomorrow morning so I will try and wait for him before we head off to lunch. After lunch I will go back to the Elio display for a few hours until supper time. I hope SandyCWV's invitation is still open for dinner at Waldhorn as some good German food and beer sounds like a great way to end the day. :)

The mall opens at 11 AM on Sunday and I will try to be there for an hour or two before heading back to Atlanta hopefully during daylight hours.

So what do you do whilst hanging around the display for hours?
I hope you have a great trip.
Sponge up that information!

I'll bet all you find more early bugout traffic than even the rush hour. Especially the Government workers. LOL

PS could you remind somebody to ask about the led tail lights that signals a progressive right/left plus a break all on one light bar?
