Shannon, if your route takes you through Hartford, how about stopping to see the Mark Twain House? I watched the Ken Burns programs about Mark Twain's life on PBS this week, and now I want to go there myself; it seems like it would be pretty fascinating. I just looked at their website, <www.marktwainhouse.org>, and it says that the tour takes about an hour. In January they are closed on Tuesdays, and open Mon. & Wed. - Sat. 9:30 to 4:00 (last tour starts at 4:00), Sun. noon - 4:00.

Suzy, I can assure that I am definitely not one of those people who go whizzing by your at 90 MPH! I'm definitely not one of those!
Sara's suggestion about the Mark Twain House in Hartford is a good one. (My cousin, who's on its board, would never forgive if I didn't endorse it! Seriously, it's worth a stop.)

Howard, 684 to 84 can be a lousy route out of the city! I have always had a much easier time on 95, either all the way to Boston or just out of the city to make connections. Saying "it saves an half hour" in nice in theory, but you can just a easily get stuck that amount of time in Westchester just getting to 84.
So you see, Shannon, we can't even agree on the route (though knowing the day of the week and the time of the day you're traveling might sway some of us), but it looks like assuming the best situation, the drive is 4-5 hours and may not be worth more than a stop for a bite to eat and to stretch your legs.
