We left our home at Aurora at 1pm with Chandu driving the almost new Dodge caravan min van. It started raining even before we left downtown chicago. Madhuri told us that thunderstorms/ rain is predicted all along our route that day.
We took the I 80 E out of Chicago and soon entered Indiana at Gary.The rain/ storm was with us right through our drive through Indiana. It was scary at times due to poor visibility / heavy downpour, but, chandu was cool and his driving top class. We crossed the state line into OHIO at about 5pm (205 miles from home) . The rains finally left us around 7pm. We stopped at one of the service plazas at 8pm and had a fill of 'Pulihora' for dinner along with chapattis which we brought from home. We reached our destination of Youngstown, Ohio at about 9-30pm and checked into the Residence Inn, Marriott. Our accommodation was a 2 Bed room, Living room-kitchen suite and most comfortable. I may add here that Madhuri booked all the hotels and standardized on this accommodation. We had another bite before going to bed around 11-30pm.
