Holson and 84300DT,

If you guys want to plan to meet on the road, select a route and a time and we can try to coordinate our schedules to be there or meet at an exit/intersection along the way. I was looking to leave around 11 a.m. to get there around 2 p.m. as Mapquest tells me it is around 160 miles if you go through the City and over the GW Bridge. It looks like my younger son (14) will be travelling with me. I was looking to go to the Tappan Zee Bridge, and then take 278 South to 202? Have to check my Rand McNalley Road Atlas, but I used to drive to Phillipsburg, NJ quite a bit and that was a good route down to 78 West from here. I am flexible on the route though. Anyway, if you want to go in a group let me know. Jim
