Are you then planning on flying to Minnesota from New York? Because driving would take a while. Even driving from New York City to Rochester is going to take a while. Google maps estimated it to be about 5 1/2 hour drive. I was trying to find a comparison for you as well. So, the drive from NYC to Rochester would be a little longer than driving from Copenhagen to Hamburg. Driving from NYC to Minneapolis would take you about as long as it take to drive from Copenhagen to Rome. So, like I said, that is quite the road trip.
