As a stop to go back to airport, we stopped and visited Boston College which has a special meaning to me – Thank you again for believing A’s potential. The campus, buildings, town, staffs, and students were beautiful and I was having a hard time to hold myself from bowing my heads down to earth to this institution. Plus, now I don’t have any regrets on the deposit I blew up on here. BC deserves well enough to take my money although it was small ๐
After having a dinner with my buddy’s son who are attending Cornell, we had to leave to east to finish the last major driving of this trip ๐ There has been lot of questions and debates on which route is better for anyone who needs to go east from Ithaca whether to go with I-81/I-90 via Syracuse after shorter local roads or I-88 after longer drive of local roads – The main point of discussions were the safety -especially at night- and road conditions as two route only have 15-30min difference.
After quick thought, I decided to take I-88 with the idea that it will be okay if I can reach I-88 before the sunset ๐ and it was a success although the local roads were slightly slippery and had New York State Patrol following me for any opportunity(?) for speeding at local roads ๐
Anyhow I ended up enjoying the drive in dark in the middle of nowhere/mountains in I-88, and successfully merged into I-90/Thruway at Albany and continued to east via NY Thruway and Mass Pike which was full force construction mode ๐ -maybe 1/3 of Mass Pike drive was on reduced lanes due to midnight constructions.
Had a wonderful experience, although crowded and gone theu waitlisting (getting waitlisted is still sensitive experience for me after going thru my son’s college admission process ๐ )at Boston Airport’s Chase Sapphire Lounge…maybe the best airport food I had was served during my visit
