Drive Philly to Richmond

Yeah intending to discuss on this week during the project planning. She'll be okay once I explain from a perspective of lost billable hours. Travel is actually longer if I drive, more stressful, and can't be dual purposed. Think she just did a quick mapquest check and said 200 - 250 miles ... driving is a flexible option. Also the original project plan had me there one week a month and now it has risen to the next 3 of 4.

Kind felt obligated to give it a try after she told the client I was driving as it was only 4 hours same as flying. After Tuesday I'll be able to say, with evidence, with traffic much longer.

Hasn't helped my mood that it took 90 minutes to get a rental car from Enterprise. (Very busy, new staff, waiting on a car, etc). Negated any time savings versus driving to airport for National.
