I usually take I-78 just in the interest of time. I use Rt 22 a lot - I'm not sure how it is supposed to be more fun in a Porsche. It's mostly straight and flat, the tractor trailers clog the traffic and everything backs up at the intersections.
I know the back roads between Allentown and Reading, between Reading and Hershey not so much. I made the mistake of taking 422 home last year - yuck.
I don't travel with the RTR crowd because they take the Turnpike and leave to late.
I picked out some roads that look better for this year.
I'm thinking that I will arrive around 8:00.
Is there a Pelican meet up again this year? Crab shack at Noon? (Noon is to late. It should be at 10:30 or 11:00).

You can drop down 1/2 mile lower and take old route 22 once you pass the Allentown exits and still make good time with a nicer route IMO.You could also drop lower yet through the PA countryside that has some great scenic routes west to Hersey.
Just leave a 1/2 hr earlier,be careful and watch out for the Amish horse and buggies.
