This was a fun and reasonably priced pick from Costco and also fun enough to buy and assemble (vs buy as a collection and invest ๐Ÿ™‚ ) so enjoyed the Lego assembly

Also gave me the lesson that it is not easy for older man to look and assemble small pieces together… crap…:)

A bit irritating repairs were looped all and knocked out with one visit to dealer… tire losing air (but not depleting though) and vehicle having trouble in recognizing my keyfob…

Is my vehicle too American or myself behaving too much American? ๐Ÿ™‚

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 ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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 ๐Ÿ™‚ -maybe 1/3 of Mass Pike drive was on reduced lanes due to midnight constructions.

I love driving Jeep Compass! ๐Ÿ™‚

After losing soul during the rides and getting sun-burnt on all arms and faces, drove to northwest to Syracuse, NY. (and believe paid countless tolls in Mass Spike and NY Thruway ๐Ÿ™‚ )

Happen to find Dave’s hot chicken and it was great although it taught me the lesson that hot chicken without Korean sauce is an insult to hot chicken ๐Ÿ˜›

The Skyler hotel in Syracuse was a kind of experience of 1800’s old building renovated to hotel ๐Ÿ™‚ very comfortable hotel except cracking sounds from the floor ๐Ÿ™‚
