We take Hwy 44 west from Plymouth. We had intended to go to Newport, Rhode Island but decided to get a bit further south. Ended up driving across Rhode Island - all 35 miles on 44 and across the State line into Connecticut still on 44. We run into rain by mid afternoon.

| No Way! |
visit. Trevor says 'no way am I driving the RV anywhere near new York!' We have been to New York a couple of times before, but it is such a great city and ... we are here.
Perhaps we could park somewhere out of town and commute in?
We stayed a night at Aces High RV Park in East Lyme Connecticut. A very nice park but we can't stay longer. We have places to go.
It is a pity, as we pass close by New Haven the home of Yale University, Mystic Seaport and of course the capital city, Hartford.
We set off the next day in light rain with poor visibility. We are in for a day of highways: I 95 then CT 9N; at Middletown we go off 9 onto Hwy 66 ( a small highway); then onto 691W and at Waterbury we go onto I 84. At 12.30 we cross the state line into New York State.
The weather is lightening up and the roads are very colourful with beautiful fall foliage.
There are lots and lots of trucks on the highway and we are seeing more RV's than we have for a while. The uncertainty of the last few days is behind us as we head south. A bit like birds that fly south for the winter ... it is time.
We stop at a place called Fishkill! Yep! We do some shopping at a Sam's Club store. Incredible savings if you want enormous amounts of things. We have lunch in the RV and I make a coffee - very low on
caffeine and I can feel a headache coming on!!
The sun is out!! We plan to stop at the KOA Deerpark/New York City RV park at Cuddebackville which is close to the Pennsylvania and New Jersey borders. They are expecting us. Then we run into a traffic snarl at least 20 miles long. It takes us more than an hour and a half to get going. It is way past dark when we arrive at the park. I did ring ahead with news of our dilemma. All is good.
