Hey everyone!

I'm planning a trip to Conecticuit this summer, for when I get off school in August. Don't have any more details than that of course, I have still yet to figure anything out! :P

Who knows? I may just end up in West Haven and haunt Ryan for a day or two! :twisted:

Ah, that's cool Sonic. What is bringing you to Connecticut? Maybe I'm just used to it, having lived her most of my life. I don't know if it's considered a cool travel destination. Hehe.

Edinburgh - good question. When it comes to the long time loyal ZP members, I feel like I know many of you. Even chatting outside of the site, in the off-season. But I don't think I've met anyone in person.

I've been in public places where people have said to me, "You run Zombie Pumpkins? I know that site!" But those weren't necessarily members that I knew beforehand.

Would you mind if I came for sa visit Ryan? The reason I come to your state is because I know nothing about it, and I want to visit some of the eastern states, as I have only gone down south thus far.

My other choice was Colorado to see the Rockies, but Conecticuit just seemed like a better choice.

Mark, that probably was me. And both of your assumptions for my disguise are correct. ;)

I'm gonna find you by the end of my trip... rest assured :P Even if it means looking you up in the local phone books! :lol:

My trip route kinda looks like this

Hartford (land) - New Haven
New Haven - West Haven
West Haven - Bridgeport
Bridgeport - Danbury Fair/Lake Compounce Theme Park
Danbury Fair/Lake Compounce Theme Park - Hartford (leave)

The only part I'm missing? Where Danbury fair actually is :P

I'm gonna talk this over with my parents to see if they agree with what I'm thinking. They suggested a bit of a shorter route through, but I want to visit as much of the state as I can in a week and a half.

The Danbury Fair was a yearly exhibition event held in October, from 1821 to 1981. The event no longer takes place, and at the former location you will now find a regular ol' shopping mall - Danbury Fair Mall.

If amusement parks are you thing, the best around here would probably be Lake Compounce, so that's a decent stop on your itinerary.

Well my lack of knowledge is certainly not going unnoticed! :P

Thanks for the input Ryan, as aforementioned, I plan to visit as much of the state as I can in a short period of time. Lake Compounce was high on my list when I Googled Connecticut. I'll be sure to let you know when I'm passing through :)

That is about the same around here. Thought it may have been lower or something. Just depends on how you drive I guess.
