| Bridgeport | Hotel along I-95, near Bridgeport Posted: Tue November 3, 2009 05:19 AM UTC
Hi VT'ers! I'm going to the WOrld Series on Wednesday, and must wake up in, or near, Bridgeport on Thursday morning. While I am driving from the Bronx to Bridgeport, I need to drop somebody off at a MetroNorth on Thursday morning. I've been on Tripadvisor for the last 90 minutes, reading up on The Holiday Inn in Bridgeport, Hilton Garden Inn of Stratford, and Marriott in Trumbull. I gather that downtown Bridgeport is a slum, and that I'd want to stay in a safer town - especially as I'll be arriving at my hotel around 1am early Thursday morning. I'd like to keep it around $150. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

| Connecticut | Strategy for hotel rooms without planning Posted: Tue March 31, 2009 02:11 AM UTC
For almost all previous travel I arrange hotel stays for the entire trip before we leave home. This time we would like to be free to move on when ready and stay longer when we enjoy the place.
The plan is to drive from Kitchener, Ontario to Coastal Connecticut and back. What strategy do people use to find hotels along the way? What time of day to start looking? Are there many visitor information centers? Visit individual places to ask or phone? Thanks for tips on strategy. Martin |

| New Haven | mom and dad need help! Posted: Tue January 20, 2009 03:11 PM UTC
we are the parents of a son who has been granted a live audition at the Opera Dept. of Yale!!!! we are so happy, but just 1 thing- we are from central illinois, the armpit of the nation. We know nothing of big city life and such. We 3 will be flying up and staying the weekend in February, wondering if it would be better to take a taxi around all weekend, of just rent a car at the airport? Isthere anything we must, or must NOT do? thank you!

| Connecticut | Connecticut summer trip :inns and B&Bs Posted: Fri October 31, 2008 02:27 PM UTC
Hello! We have two house exchanges organised for August and September 2009, the first one in Stamford, the second on Cape Cod. The third week in August, between exchanges, will be spent driving around Connecticut, staying in inns or B&Bs. Any help with suggestions for places to visit and not too expensive accomodation along the way would be greatly appreciated. We are a couple in our sixties, interested in seeing quaint small towns and villages, either along the coast from Stamford, or in the rural north east. We want to avoid driving in busy suburban areas - we live in rural France so I'm afraid we'd find driving in American cities very nerve-wracking! Thank you for your suggestions.

| New Haven | Picking up camping supplies in NEW HAVEN, CT area Posted: Sat June 7, 2008 02:47 PM UTC
Hi
We are driving up from Newark to New England for a camping holiday and we will be stopping off in New Haven on our first evening. We'll want to pick up camping supplies the following morning (headed for Burlingame State Park, RI) and wondered if anyone can tell me if there is a good store in the New Haven area for things like camping gas (for an MSR pocket rocket stove) and similar. Also, which are the local supermarket chains in CT, RI, MA, etc. Do you have Albertsons, Safeway or others? Many thanks, Sam from England |

| Hartford | Ground transport from New York to Bradley Aiport Posted: Wed May 7, 2008 02:42 AM UTC
Hi,
I live in New York and am meeting my father and brother at a hotel near Bradley Airport. Just wondering if there's a direct bus from New York to the airport, or if I'll have to take the Peter Pan bus to Union Station and then find me way to the airport. If so, does the Bradley Flyer leave from Union station? I couldn't tell from looking at the timetable. If not, how much would a cab be? Thanks so much |

| Connecticut | Why is connecticut state in this state? Posted: Thu November 15, 2007 02:02 AM UTC
It is my 9th month stay in this state (after moving from New Jersey) and I am surprised by few things: a) Price for things in a supermarket in New Jersey is equivalent to "Sale" price of same in Connecticut b) On same day, gas/petrol price is atleast 30+ cents more per gallon between the states (costlier even compared to New York city) c) Although a person has valid visa for 1 or 2 years, he has to buy a driver's licence for seven years fees [6 to 5 years extra charge] d) More construction sites [sorry, more construction red boards) in express ways, and hence more catches and fines e) Not enough public transport f) long traffic signal waits g) Trouble-some weather as pollen attack in spring and severe winter. Positives please??

| Connecticut | Inexpensive NYC hotel/B&B or easy Conn. commute Posted: Sun November 4, 2007 01:54 PM UTC
I need some suggestions for inexpensive, but clean accomodations for one active 70ish woman and her nephew, arriving next week. They are visiting from a country whose currency/living standard won't allow spending a lot, but they would like to spend two days/one night sightseeing in NYC. They may be driving down from Boston. I would like to find clean (no bedbugs), comfortable accomodations either in Manhattan or perhaps in one of the coastal Connecticut towns on the route down from Boston that has commuter rail into the city. I'm open to other suggestions. This could be her only trip to the U.S. and we would like to make it the best possible, as she has graciously hosted us in her home country.

| West Hartford | Who is Kilkenney? Posted: Mon October 29, 2007 04:55 PM UTC
Hello,
I am a resident of West Hartford(Lower Bentwood Road) and I am a frequent visitor to Kilkenney Rock in the Reservoir. I've been hiking and running it for years, but I have no knowledge of why the rock is named what it is. My searches have not yielded much other than there is a great cream ale named Kilkenney made by Guinness. Any info you can furnish for me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Rob Mullins |
