[Rhodes22-list] Driving information

[Mary Lou Troy]

Agree with Peter and Gil (Hi Gil!).

If you are traveling on a weekday, try to time it so you are not doing 
Tappan Zee (I287) to I95 N anytime near rush hour. There has been a lot 
of construction around the Tappan Zee (they are building a new bridge - 
it's pretty impressive) but the last couple of times we came through 
there we didn't have much of a problem with traffic but I think we were 
midday midweek going north and a Sunday afternoon going south. I95 north 
out of New York often comes to a standstill on weekday late afternoons.

Not sure where you are catching the ferry but from north/central NJ (say 
around Hightstown) to Hyannis MA is a little over 5 hours driving time 
according to Google Maps - I'd plan on 6 or 7 in traffic.

All of these routes are easier if you have EZ-Pass. Keeps you out of the 
toll lanes - and there are a lot of tolls in the Northeast.

Hope this is helpful. Have a great trip!
