(9 hours and 38 minutes) We stayed their last summer. If you are willing to dive a little longer (about an hour past North Platte) on the way home, I'd recommend the Holiday Inn Express in Lexington. They have a suite with a bunk bed they showed online. It was already taken when we called them but we got the executive suite which was pretty roomy with a separate room with a King bed for us and then a pull out sofa in the living area. We made a little bed with the cushions for Em. 2 TVs (but not a great choice in channels) The pool and free breakfast were pretty nice to. We've also stayed in Sydney if you would like recommendation there too.<br /><br />I really liked the City of Ember series. I can't remember if I listened to all of them or read one instead. The fourth book brings the story full circle. Good books on tape make a road trip speed by. Harry Potter is a great one to listen to on tape.Julie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848882310002037707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126944216469144580.post-18286349933591101712011-07-18T08:58:32.962-07:002011-07-18T08:58:32.962-07:00Have fun!
