Despite the unexpected detour through NYC and the best efforts of the congested traffic through Waterbury and Hartford, Connecticut, we managed to reach my sister's home in time for dinner.
And, much to our suprise, that thrice-cursed navigator actually proved useful, providing us a more efficient route through the state of Masschusetts, saving us some time and a whopping 60 cents in tolls.
