Giok--
The drive from JFK airport in New York to the Getaway could conceivably take 3-1/2 to 4 hours IF it were smooth and there's no traffic. HAH! Plan on something closer to 5 hours, since we're talking reality here. You'll need to get out of the airport and follow the Belt Parkway aorund the shore of Brooklyn (and past Coney Island) to the Verrazano Bridge, cross Staten Island (that first stretch is the part of the trip that takes an incalculable amount of time, since it's so traffic-dependent), enter the New Jersey Turnpike and take it to its Southern Terminus (90 minutes), cross the entire state of Delaware (about 15 minutes) and proceed through Northeastern Maryland to Camp Rablewood (another half hour or so).
