A Real Contest - 'Test Your Skills'

Just recently, I made a trip from Boynton Beach, Florida, to Port Chester, New York. When I arrived at my home in New York I wanted to notify all my dear friends and decided to do it with a bit of a twist.
This is a contest, with a winner to be announced. The object is to guess the time it took me to make the trip. The closest person to the actual time will be given a prize of my chosing and will receive the notoriety they will duly deserve.
The trip is 'door to door', 'portal to portal', 'mi casa a mi casa'. The time includes all stops for gas, restrooms and walking the doggie and cassual purchases; light snacks.
Please post your calculations/guesses in this Forum. ( Topic -- from webmaster)
I will accumulate the results and post the winning name next Monday, May 10 at this time.
Good luck and great forecasting

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
