Um, you don't seem to have gotten to the "long, long drives" part.
The drive up was long, traffic being bad along the Connecticut coast (just as bad on the Hutch/Merritt Pkwy as along I-95 - Jeremy & Paulette were driving up the Merritt Pkwy at the same time). The part from Hartford to Springfield just seemed long - we didn't quite realize how much of CT there was north of Hartford.
And then there was driving the parents to & from the wedding. Surprisingly non-stressy. Driving with them, someplace new, can be really stressy, because Dad (the driver) can't hear, and Mom (the navigator) can't see. Meanwhile Debbie (the driver who can hear & see) and I (the navigator who can hear and see) are in the back seat, fuming over the uselessness of it all.
