Re: [MBZ] Philly
Hi Kaleb, My son went to college in Philly. There is a straight shot from Philly across southern Jersey to the Jersey shore, via the Atlantic City Expressway. If you are coming thru NYC, you would take the Garden State Parkway to the shore, rather than go to Philly and then head east. NYC traffic really depends on the day and time of travel. I-95 in southwestern CT can be a 20 mile + parking lot if you time it wrong. Don't even think about it during morning (7-9am) or evening (3-6 or even 7 on a Friday) rush hours. Other than that it isn't bad unless there is an accident that ties things up. On a good day I can make it straight thru the city and across the Hudson River in 90 minutes from here (about 115 miles). That is exceptional, however. And You-know-who wasn't riding shotgun. On the other hand, on a bad Holiday weekend, it has taken me 8 hours to get to NYC. I don't know what your travel time frame is but if you do go to the Jersey shore, you could continue south to Cape May, NJ, take the Cape May -Lewes, Del. ferry, drop down to Ocean City MD, and then come across the DelMarVa peninsula to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge at Annapolis, and then on to Washington, DC. Has the family ever seen Washington? The Chesapeake Bay Bridge at Annapolis is not for the faint of heart, btw. It is a thin ribbon in space, high and spectacular--- I love it but it scares the bejesus out of my wife. Let me know if your itinerary brings you through SE CT. I am very close to I-95, but I am headed to Maryland the first weekend in August for a big car show for a different German vehicle.

Re: [MBZ] Philly
If you are thinking about rte 80 across PA there are some seriously steep and long hills/mountains along that route so be sure the brakes are up to it. Mike On Jul 29, 2011 10:53 AM, "Kaleb C.

No idea. I wouldn't get in the water anywhere near Camden, NJ. That is the worst smelling place on the East coast. No ocean there though. Gotta go across NJ to get to the ocean from Philly.
