Yeah Toms River has like 19,000 kids in the school system. When they won the little league world series in '98 it was with the a-f team, they have them broken up by alphabet the town is so big. BTW pm if you need any info on the area I can even give you my # in case you get lost on the way up.

I Mapquested it just to get an idea on how to get there - doesn't seem too hard & just under 2 hours.

Didn't realize the area was so big! Wow that's a lot of kids!

Yeah just drop off 195 to rt9 south and you on your way. It will only take you 2 hours if you drive backwards .

I think Mapquest had us going up the Tpk to the GSP or something......eh I forget now....2 hours isn't bad - then we only need a hotel room for 1 night - we can just come home the night of the show.

**Notes**

I have GOT to start eating right tomorrow!! I've been eating crap since Saturday nite & I'm bloated & puffy. I hurt all over & feel sick - my skin is stretched so tight it hurts. I haven't been able to stop myself lately but I feel so sick that I've GOT to reign myself in......I feel COMPLETELY out of control & SO sick...

Got some chicken thawed out & ready to cook & bought some green beans today. Will ask hubby to run to Costco for more eggs & chicken.

The journal will resume tomorrow!!!

Forget that that will take you way out of the way. Take 195 to rt9 south. That will be the fastest way for you. I'm 10-5 north of Toms River North and it only took me an hour and 15 to get to Kaunaville when I competed there last year.

Jump ovet the bridge the Turnpike or 295 have exits for 195, should may say Shore Points but you want east. 195 will lead you to Rt9. If you take the Turnpike to the GSP that's at exit 127 then you have to go south to get to TR. 195 is closest to exit 98 but the parkway is out of the way for you and will make the trip longer.

Here's what Mapquest says:

Merge onto I-295 N via the exit on the LEFT toward NEW CASTLE / DEL MEM BR.

7: I-295 N becomes NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE N (Portions toll).

8: Merge onto I-195 E via EXIT 7A toward LAKEWOOD / SHORE POINTS.

9: Merge onto CR-527 S via EXIT 21 toward JACKSON.

10: Stay STRAIGHT to go onto CR-528 / E VETERANS HWY.

11: Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto W CROSS ST / CR-626.

12: Turn RIGHT onto US-9 / RIVER AVE. Continue to follow US-9.

13: End at 2373 Route 9\

Total est time: 1 hour 43 minutes
