<p>Okay this might seem like a frivolous topic, but I am pretty concerned. We live in Europe and will be visiting my mom starting next Sunday. We are flying from Frankfurt to Newark and our flight gets in at 3:30pm...meaning once we're through customs and immigration and have our bags, we will be going down the NJ turnpike <em>right</em> as a Giants game gets out of the Meadowlands. Egad! That, after a 9 hour flight, having to be to the airport 3 hours early, and two train rides to the airport...in short 13+ hours of traveling....with a 6 month old!</p>

<p>We are headed to Connecticut. Does anyone have any advice about avoiding sitting in hours and hours of traffic? I was wondering if there was some sort of train to NYC and then the train from there to CT, but my mom said any public transport would be a bus, which will also be stuck in the same traffic. Are there any alternate routes or anything we can do short of sitting in the airport until nighttime to wait it out? I am very displeased with this situation, any ideas to help get us around it, or at least deal better with the inevitable, would be appreciated. TIA!</p>
