in Joisey, you already know that.

Last time I drove I-80, maybe 10 years ago, it was as good as any other interstate with no problems or anything interesting. I would suggest that if you have the time, though, swing north around Scranton and find your way up to Route 6 and meander across the state that way. I have no idea what it's like now, but on that trip it was a time warp. You'll find yourself going past the Grand Canyon of PA and other things you've never heard of before, like the railroad museums.

Might even be a few Burma-Shave signs left up-- it's just that kinda drive. Give yourself an extra day or two if you go that way. It's worth it, though.
