Drive has been quite lovely. The leaves are starting to change color. Miles and miles of cornfields with swimming ponds randomly placed in the fields. I am assuming the ponds are primarily used as irrigation, but many have rope swings, docks, and slides over that water.
Side trip for Kate to see The Statue of Liberty when going through New York City. All the while I am driving through the bowels of NYC and chewing my nails in the traffic, passengers are whining because I will not make second detour into Brooklyn to have brick oven pizza. After a full stomach of pizza and beer in Stamford I settle in and take a much needed nap.
Arrival on the the Island: Arrive after dark and head out following very simple directions to house. Interesting thing about Martha's Vineyard is their street sign system is not the most organized. Missed a very important turn, but did not know it because main streets have no markings. Looking for "Head of the Pond Road"... not to be confused with Pond Road, Pond Road South, Pond Road North, Head of Pond Road (that is correct completely different road just with "the" left out. Finally thank goodness for little blue bouncy call on GPS app for IPhone 4 and after taking very isolated dirt road meant for off road vehicles (though no match for the little Subaru) we made it to our little home for a week. Thankfully the next day we found the much easier and smoother route to our little home.
