Drove it last year from NE PA. Two girls from my cluster are driving together. I'll forward your email to them if they are interested. Parking avgs 25-35 in most of the Conference Hotels but tolls are a killer compared to what I'm used to around here. To me I compare everything to 476 (turnpike) but there was no comparison. Gas was cheaper the whole way out though so there was some savings. Enjoy your ride.
