[Magdalen] Travel advice: Chicago - NYC - Vermont

[Mahoney, W. Michael]

Scott -

I'd spend more than few dollars to avoid New York City unless I had really
good reason to be in New York City.  Also, Google's satellite map suggests
that the drive from Albany would be lovely.

I doubt that there is a flight from England that lands in La Guardia.  But
lots of them land in Logan and it is easy to get out of Logan on the Mass
Pike towards Albany - - - though you would turn North before you got that
far.
