My latest and greatest moment that left me stunned and surprised when I drove through Stamford CT on I-95 south on my way to Westchester County Airport late last week.
My flight left at 7:45 am with one hour drive to the airport plus being advised to get there two hours early. Thought I was going to need gas for my rented 2024 Toyota RAV4 LE hybrid but didn’t. My trip to the airport from the hotel was an adventure not just a mundane commute.
Truthfully, I was totally amazed of the colorful night lights, beautiful architecture, cleanliness and safety of this city. It was so unexpected that it made an impact on me. I felt safe going through the city on
the freeway and on the local roads.
Connecticut is a State where a good portion of it is made up of bedroom communities for people who work in NYC who get to the City by train then walk to the nearest subway station to help them reach their final destination. It’s also a place of beautiful old towns with green spaces and beaches. West of I-95 is Hwy 15 that is filled with beautiful trees and lots of hills even a tunnel. The saying, “good things come in small packages,” can be applied here. Honestly, like every other State, it does have areas that aren’t safe. Those may come up later in a future post.
Happy Travels!!
