Subject: Re: Cross country on I-40
From New Jersey, cross the Hudson on the Tappan Zee Bridge, take I684 to I84. Once you are in Connecticut, take Exit 7 and take Route 7 north to the Massachusetts Turnpike and on to the Cape and Martha's Vineyard.

Or

Take the New York Thruway north ti I84. Then go east. Once your are in Connecticut, take Exit 7 (a left exit) and take Route 7 north to the Massachusetts Turnpike.

Route 7 is a two-lane road - pretty and slow. You could even detour from Rte 7 to see Litchfield which has one of the prettiest greens in Connecticut and lots of good places to eat. Do you think I could name one now? Just park, walk around town for a half hour and eat somewhere that appeals to you. Its hard to go wrong.
