Going to NYC

In light of our departure tomorrow (already!?) for New York City, an excerpt from a recent travel chat between Chase and I:

Chase: so the bus departs @ 7:30. it takes 2.5 to get [to Washington D.C.], then we need to find parking, call cab, get to the bus stop. I think we should leave by 4. we'd get to DC proper at 6:30 (if no traffic problems) -- and it would leave 45 minutes to call cab, get to stop (usually 20-25 minutes). It'll still be too close for comfort, but i think 4 is the latest we should leave

Tony: One thing: where's the bus stop?

Chase: downtown

Tony: because GMaps says the fastest way to DC is 2 hours and 50 minutes ... not 2.5.

Chase: oh shit

Tony: AHEM

Chase: hmmm...i always feel like it's just an hour and a half

Tony: I know you assume it's about 45 minutes to DC, but ...
