Jersey- It's a pretty easy drive, and is highways the whole way. If you can get over the Throgs Neck and on to the Van Wyck, you're 90% of the way there. The roads will be empty on a Sunday morning this time of year also.

Scott - remember you're talking to someone who lives on an barrier island 7 miles long, 4 blocks across at the widest point. Only a couple structures are over 30 feet.

Throgs Neck? Van Wyck? Ya might as well be talkin Greek! I'll be fine, thank god for mapquest & a GPS.

Actually I love NYC - spent last weekend in Manhatten, drove up during the storm Friday, hoofed around all day Friday, Saturday & Sunday in the snow w/ family (niece & nephew 5 & 8 - only their second trip to NYC), cabs were a precious commodity. I made the kids walk (in the blizzard Sat) from 37th & Lex up to 55th & 5th Ave.

Does mapquest send you through Staten Island?
Everytime I use it, it seems to send me on a bass ackwards route.

where did I put my directions.... in brief -

NJTP Exit 13 - yeah that puts me on the Staten Island expressway It does look like it goes north to go south. I'm open to suggestions if there is an easier/shorter/faster route.

I've noticed mapquest has erratic behavior, such as failing to get off exits & whatnot. Heading to Mountainside it once failed to have me get off the Parkway. I'll print MQ directions, read them, then consult a map & a GPS.

I usually go the Staten Island way anyway. I'm only a few miles from the Gothals, si it's just the easiest.

Oh yeah, and I can supply the West Virginia Dive Club signs!

Yup, SI is the best way.
For those in Central or Southern NJ.

Exit 10 will put you over the Outerbridge.
440 north (West Shore Exp) to the SI Exp
will put you over the Verrazano which brings
you to the Belt Parkway to Coney Island.

Exit 13 will put you over the Goethals to
SI Exp to the Verrazano.
Same thing, longer on the TPike.
