Sure, just don't bring it back through New York. Otherwise the Grey
Bar Hotel awaits you. Free country? Not so much.



On my way to SC to scope things out a little ... and maybe buy a boat.
Been a while since I drove the infamous I-95. I was concerned about the
George Washington bridge and almost went the long way around. Decided
to try the GWB at the last minute. No problem at all. Breezed right
through. Surprised the hell out of me.

I drove the GWB twice a day for many years. Weekends are generally
OK except for Sunday nights coming back into the city. If you hear on
the radio that the GWB is backed up, the Tappan Zee Bridge is
generally a good alternate. You have to be familiar with the local
roads however.

In my opinion SC is too cold in the winter. They do have a lot of
nice waterfront property along the ICW but November through
March/April is decidedly on the chilly side. Inland is worse although
much better than MA.
