Might want to think about maybe taking I84 at Danbury CT to Scranton NY. Helps to completely avoid the traffic issues around New York City and surrounding area. Made the trip from Maine to points south of Maryland more times then I can count. Traffic around NYC was always a pain.

Thank you for the heads up.
I've had that very conversation with others.
Still considering Tapen Zee, to Garden St Prkwy, to Jersey trnkp. What I dont like is around DC, that too, can be stop and go.
