I had told Juli 23 to 96 East to exit 162 because ole Eeyore would wind up in a cloud in DT Detroit by 'just jogging over to I-75'

Have I steered you wrong yet miss Fire? On second thought don't answer that!

I think Lars is thinking around Noonish for the meet
I'm taking the liberty of speaking for Laura here but I'm sure she won't mind !
I see Mapquest (via dogpile) is saying to take I-75 out of Ohio up thru Toledo (but make sure you go North on I-275 when you cross I-94!) The mileage from Columbus to Novi is 211.4, travel time 247 minutes. At 77 MPH (average of course, I heard that number today from a certain DIS Princess

) the time should be around 3.3 hours
Any questions?
Oh & El, I'll bring the name tags, you bring the pen, 'kay?
