The crane will not affect you if you go my way.

Thanks, L! Remind me to slap Clint tomorrow!

It's 15 miles longer the way you and Sunil suggested...no big deal.

Ok, but don't come crying to me tomorrow when it takes you 7 hours to drive a 4 hour trip.

She's not leaving Baltimore until 5 pm, she won't hit the parkway until 8 if she's lucky. She'll fly up the parkway and over the Tap at that time

They are suggesting that you take 95 NJ Turnpike to the Garden State to 287 East. I would go with this route.

Wow, this thread is still alive!

I didn't think navigation was such a contentious issue.

Michelle, crane collapse is on the East Side, far away from both GWB and Tappan Zee, so it's a non-issue no matter which way you go.

GWB means that you would then need to take the Cross Bronx Expressway: in other words you should avoid this route like the PLAGUE.

Stick with the Garden State to I-287 to Tappan Zee route that everyone is suggesting.

(The Cross Bronx Expressway is arguably the worst, most congested, ugliest, truck infested, most polluted creation known to man).

I made it! I left at 5:30 and arrived at 8:40. 230 miles in 3 hours and 10 minutes.

I screwed up though. I was too busy checking out an alpine white M5 that I missed all of the signs telling me to get in the far right lane for cash payments for the $0.70 toll on the GSP. I went through the exact change lane and I only had like $0.37.

Damn woman - you were flying! Glad that you made it safely.

Yeah...I really was!! No traffic...except at the lanes at the toll booths (no e-z pass).

I have a really nice room. It's an end/corner room. It's pretty freaking big! Much better than the rooms last year when the hotel was a Westin. There is a prom and a salsa festival going on here, so the hotel is crazy busy.

I think it's just tonight.

It took an hour and a half and three tech-support dudes to get me online.
