Default MYSTIC CT GTG moved to April 18th

We will be meeting at Old Mystic Village (The Shopping Center not the town) exit 90 from I-95 turn toward McDonalds (Northbound I-95 turn right staying in the left lane of the right turn light then left at next light and left after McD the parking lot is on right. South bound turn left at ramp end under I-95 stay left.

From North 395 S to exit 78 (this is a left hand exit) follow logical route past the Coast Guard Academy then I-95 North to Exit 90.

Meetup time is upp to u guys Mystic is about 40 minutes South of Provience hour North of New Haven and 20-30 Minutes from Mohegan Sun Casino.

What type of interest do we have for a tour of the USS Nautilus (Free tour nuclear submarine and excellent museum?) There are many great restaruants in area as well as a beautiful old mansion on waterfront (Harkness State Park) that has great gardens that should be seasonally in bloom with picnic area Avery Point also has a great overlook over Long Island Sound (see my Gallery) and an old Mansion. There are several tourist attractions in area Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarian, 2 casinos (don't bring your crossfire title with u), full size steam train rides all about $20, Gillette Castle St Park. With minor exceptions Route 1 runs inland and shore views are rather limited. If I get an idea of what people want I can tailor the cruise to fit.

I think (Cathy)CruxpyrFemmella, and my son will be coming along. I may or may not make it but would love to get with you guys.
Joe is as much a hard head as me with a little less hair. Otherwise we are virtually twins. Kind of a surrogate Franc. Ya'll can bust him up if you want to.

Have fun.

I would think the meet time would be around 9:30-10. or earlier if we have a breakfast location near by.
OK Bruce you asked for a poll how about using it. The rest of you also.

Bruce,
2 members are looking for a 9:30 start for breakfast. Can we go with a 9:30 breakfast and 10:30 start on the cruise? How long do you expect the entire cruiase and events to last? Stan
