Hey I am leaving from Central Jersey too, which sucks because I hate the Turnpike so much. Anyway super pumped about the drive because I have mapped out where all the Sonic's are on my route. So many Cherry Limeades.

Hey Tempe, When do you leave for your program? Are you planning on driving down?

Yes I'm driving! I'm leaving May 15th, but I'm driving from Chicago not Arizona.

Hi! Thanks so much for this info! I will relay this to my daughter whose at school and she'll just have to go get a new one asap. By the way, I see you're driving down from a suburb of Chicago. So are we! We're leaving from Bolingbrook on 5/18. I dont remember if you are leaving at the same time or later. My daughter graduates 5/16 from WIU and she and a friend from Macomb, Il are both driving down! Thanks again for the info on the social security card!

Sure thing for the info, I don't want anyone to have to go through more struggle than is necessary! I am checking in May 20th also! I am leaving the 15th from the Aurora/Naperville area and a girl I'm planning on living with is from Plainfield! Congratulations on your daughters graduation! I just graduated last December and I'm so excited to go to Disney now! Kind of trying to make a longer term career out of this. . .we'll see how that goes with the economy though!

i know how you feel about wanting to stay down there i want to do the same cause i graduate in a week... even though im glad i grew up were i did...its beat street now(its a town at the jersey shore, so super packed for three months, then a ghost town and really cold the rest) the only thing that gets me bummed is leaving my friends behind

Easiest way is Turnpike, It's just a straight line but boring as hell. If you take the parkway you will end like 2 hours east of where you want to be. I am coming from around Rutgers so I am more north than you, but still i think the best bet is Turnpike because it technically is 95 which is most of the drive down.

I have never been to a sonic either, but the commercials are on all the time that I want it so bad. Stupid marketing techniques.

Wow! We're right next door to Naperville! It would be nice if you could run into my daughter while there! Are you planning on going to the meet and greet? I hope we arrive in time so that she can go--she's planning on moving in with a girl she went to school with in Macomb. She graduates 5/16 and we leave on 5/18 so we will be arriving on 5/19 and the meet and greet starts at around 5:30, I believe. I wish you and your future roomie the best-- this is such a fantastic opportunity for all of you!

Hi Jonny! Wow! You lived in Bensenville?!!! Thats where my husbands company was located before they moved to Wood Dale! What a small world, after all, (get it?--ok, so Im a little corny!) My daughter is Tashiana T.-- you've spoken briefly on these boards with her before-- she'll be doing hospitality--so, maybe you two will get to meet each other somewhere along the line. Im so glad to hear your Mom is extremely excited, too! She and I are probably just kids at heart so therefore, we are soooo happy for you guys! We wish we could be doing the CP too! Too bad you werent going for FA, cuz I would have liked to meet you, but when you get there and settled, look for Tashiana! Good Luck to you! and also, while reading these boards I have gotten a kick outta you! You seem like a really fun person!

Hey Jonny! I just told my husband that you lived in Bensenville-- he's knows it well since as I mentioned-- his company was there for many years-- he also knows where that huge junk yard is-- Irving Park Road and Green Street, is what I think he said. Ive always wanted to see New Jersey-- have never been there--I lived in Massachusetts for many years a long time ago. I love the ocean so we try to get out to Mass. annually. Your lucky to live where you can enjoy the salt air and the waves all the time!

hahaha thats the junk yard. its a pretty nice out there...alot different from the jersey shore haha but it was an experience...mass is a really nice place as well i have some extended family that lives around the cape cod area and we try to visit every so often. Yeah i took growing up by the ocean for granted once i went to bensenville and everyone was talking about lakes i was pretty much out of the loop there, but im glad that i grew up were i did cause the ocean is a block away, new york city is and hour and half away, philly is an hour and half the other way(but who wants to go there) so i got to experience a lot of places in my 22 years. As far as new jersey goes it s pretty strange place lots of different areas from super rich areas to inner city settings to beach towns to even some hick areas down south you can find any type of place here even casinos. ive talked to you daughter as well and im doing bell service dispatch so we might even be workin in the same resort who knows. ill see you around the boards and your daughter down in disney

Hey Jonny! The junk yard...well, what you saw is a place called "Victory Auto Wreckers" which has been around forever and its sort of locally famous for having one of the cheesiest commercials on our Chicago stations! The commercial they keep running to this day is one they made like back in the 1970's-- its really corny. So, ya, up by Ohare its a lot different from some of these other suburbs--its like more industrial up that way. Our town is a lot cleaner and neater looking--but that is such a busy area because of the airport. Now, even tho Ive never been to New Jersey, I do know where Seaside Park is---lucky you to live where you do! We also go to the Cape and have very close friends from that area that we visit---anyway, tell your Mom I know exactly how she feels! And I'll be seeing you around these boards!
