Harry,
Yes Chuck and I were surprised at how the scope of the trip seemed to grow as time passed. :-)
John,
You are right, Google says York is exactly 4 hours from my home, while Henning's is almost 6. Good thing Chuck is driving, we will get there quicker than if I drove. He being a younger professional driver, and me feeling less comfortable at higher speeds than I used to. ;-) Looking forward to meeting you!
