This is what really sucks about Florida, you can enter the state at 2P and it still takes until 10P to get home. Press on Phil & PJ.

I hate Illinois on I-57, you enter down at Cairo and its not a bad drive to Marion. Then after that its just nothing to look at all the way to Chicago. It is sort of like the midwest. I prefer to drive at night! Glad you made it home stone!
