A night in Philly?
As W. C. Fields noted:
The expression “I’d rather be in Philadelphia” is derived from a fictional
epitaph that locally-born entertainer W.C. Fields (1880-1946) proposed for
himself in Vanity Fair magazine in 1925: “Here lies W.C. Fields. I would
rather be living in Philadelphia.” By implying that Philadelphia would be
slightly preferable to the grave....

I-95is such a wild card…….we’re taking the train! We booked our train and
hotel reservations in late May. We figured that once everyone figured out
that the marathon was happening, they would fill up.
On the way back, we’re spending a night in Philly.

Good luck on your travels to NYC. I was visiting my daughter in Brooklyn
while everyone else was having fun at York. Terrible trip up and back on
I-95. Northbound accidents north of Baltimore that detoured everyone
through every small town in MD. That ate up an hour. Southbound accident
north of Fredericksburg that was stop and go, and go was 10 mph at best.
That ate up 2 hours, not to mention having to take the beltway around DC.
Never again. I'll go up 301. May take a bit longer with the stop lights in
MD, but at least you're moving and not subject to I-95 hiccups. As a bonus,
I stop at the Costco in Newark, DE, which is just off I-95 to fuel up and
save some $ vs. NJ and NY gas prices. As an added bonus, I'll swing through
their liquor store as the prices are much cheaper than VA and no sales tax!
