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.
I love driving Jeep Compass! ๐
