    - That's if you're lucky. I've never done 7. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 13:36 1
      - All a matter of timing, Google maps shows just over 7 if you leave now -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Jul 6, 13:45
  - This. 10 hours is easily a one day trip, imo. -- nm - Shaun Jul 6, 13:31 12
    - I've done this exact trip dozens of times. Always one day. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 13:34
    - I disagree, but I also like to stop and take photos, so ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 13:33 10
      - You might be my soul mate. I do this a lot too and it drove my parents crazy on trips. - sycor Jul 6, 14:20 1

  - ack. I was looking for this chart before I posted. Thanks....I'm gonna bookmark that -- nm - prayformojo Jul 6, 13:31 4

  - In numbers, that is risk level 4 vs risk level 7 -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 13:31
- No matter how quickly airplane air is circulated, I have to think hotels are better ventilated at removing risky air before you reach it. -- nm - Max Jul 6, 13:30 1
