To Chateau du emmalyon:

220 miles = 1/2 tank of gas = 3.5 hours (with good traffic)

Extra Notes:
--On the drive back, the Merritt/Hutchinson exit signs do not say "Rt 15" on them. Good idea to slow down beforehand.
--Driving thru NY on the way to and from is great...when the traffic's not backed up for miles and it's not raining.
--The Tappan Zee Bridge is pretty darn impressive.
--Get a spine before attempting to drive in NYC.
--You will not get lost in NJ. It's a geographical impossibility.
--More than one pit stop is a very good idea.
--The more southern I-91/Rt 15 interchange is so much quicker and easier, but the more northern ones have more places to stop for grub.
--Remember to bring R. Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra next time we drive into NYC, for a soundtrack as we watch Giants Stadium rise out of the marshes...

Thanks, emmalyon, Lynxie & inochinoakari!! (Plus urnesha, rtrockel & J.!) I had a great time!
