What better way to open the travel buggin' than with a little tribute to our good friends at Volkswagen of America, who were kind enough to let us take the 2007 Triple White Beetle out for test spin. Beth took delivery of the car in Brooklyn, picked me up at JFK Airport upon my return from Scandinavia (details to follow in later posts), and then it was off to Connecticut for the start of a 10-day tri-state area driving adventure. From our base at the "Gris" in Essex, CT--the iconic Griswold Inn, in the hospitality game since 1776, and one of America's oldest, most treasured inns--it was an explorers' weekend in the Connecticut River Valley. First leg, a river ride on the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry, which made its first crossing in 1769 and is CT's second oldest continously operating ferry. Our destination--the eccentric Gillette Castle.
