Well it's time anons: big trip starts tomorrow.
Route planned and saved, luggage ready and lunch/water/snacks packed.
Google says it's a 5 hours and half trip to reach where i'll call it quit and search for a place to sleep but adv-dad says it will probably be closer to 7 considering traffic, stops and lunch and it may not be a dry ride but day 2 should be nice and sunny for the alps all the way down to home.
