I stayed the night in a motel woke up and did a 2 hour cross country to

only had 6 hours in a 150 2 years ago and it was the maiden flight and I
was not going to chance it.

A wise choice. I brought my 150 home on a moonless night due to Continental
airlines cancelling my early flight out to go get it. Wound up in Wilmington
Delaware reading the fuel ticket to find out where I was. Missed violating the
Philly class B by only a few miles. Landed 5 minutes after the tower closed, or
I would've picked up a violation there.
