Connecticut Trip review

I got back from a wedding in Westport CT.

Tım Hortons
Yes we all know Tımmıes has made it's mark in the US but they must have about 8 of them off the Interstate. Not that I am a real fan but....Tim Hortons, the name at least is Canadian. If they actually butter your toasted begal, unlike Dunkin Donuts, then they should do well.
GPS
-We borrowed Auntie Suzie's Garmin Nuvi 360 which ran flawlessly the whole time. Even 9 hours away it was "bang on" on it's arrival at destination time.
Boarder crossing.
Because Rach is not a Canadian citizen yet she had to be fingerprinted and photographed and that costs $6US. As soon as we arrived at the crossing our passports were taken away and we didn't get them back till we went inside the inspection building.
Tolls.
We paid about $30 US in tolls. You get he choice coming into Canada for one last toll for ethier $3.5 Canadian or $3 US.
Roads.
We took I-90 to I-87 then I-84 across we must have passed about 30 state patrol cars. I swear they were in the trees or something. When ever someone passed you at a brisk pace almost every time the cops got em down the road. So we pegged it at 70MPH limit is 65.
They use some kind of nucular technology in the highway signs down there. The cylinder type design in particular are quite bright...really bright actually..they don't seem to hold back in the use of them ethier at one point both Rach and I thought it looked like an alien invasion. The use of bright stuff stuff doesn't end there ethier. During construction projects, "where your tolls are being put to good use" they have the whole are lit up like a baseball arena !!
They also have "ghostly" on and off ramps. The ramps are not only very small but look like the rest of the visually overwhelming highway. Strangely they spend almost no time on marking the actual surface of the highway so when conditions are bad, covering the signs, you might as well being driving in a field.
Huge Penitentiary
I have never seen a jail like this before...both sides of the highway gigantic razor wire fences. Woooowo man.....that's huge!! Complete with "no stopping in penitentiary area" signs off the interstate.
