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 πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ™‚

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

I love driving Jeep Compass! πŸ™‚

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 πŸ™‚ )

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 πŸ˜›

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

With tons of bad and harsh news, maybe the one I found most accurate is the one from CNBC Youtube channel; maybe 80% or so of the contents are extremely accurate from my limited learning perspective.

This is tough industry to be in πŸ™‚ as everyone participating in industry as customers, partners, empoyees, owners, etc – all have different expectations and emotional ties with the product πŸ™‚
