The trip isn't for sure yet, but I'm working on it. I've given # a couple of hints, but I have not directly stated that I'm visiting.

I think the single travel day in each direction will swing my decision. (If I had indefinite time to travel, I'd be greatly in favor of driving; since I don't have that, I'm opting for arriving in one day, and not exhausted.

I have to find a book and a toy to bring with me, so I can present them to #
