But, you are from the West Coast. Five hours away is practically a day trip. Actually, I understand your quandry. Five hours really is over the travel horizon. At least the weather there should be better for traveling than the weather around here.

Not on a Tuesday night with rush hour traffic inflating the travel time by an hour or more, it isn't.
