I live too far away to drive, how should I plan my travel?
If you are flying, we recommend either flying to LaGuardia (NYC) and taking the Metro North Railroad to Waterbury
where we will pick you up or to fly to Bradley (Hartford) and we'll organize a pick up there. Most important is for you to
talk to us first before making your plans so we can make sure we can pick you up.
