[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes 9-11 hours.  The first 4.5 are relatively easy---straight up 95. Slightly north of NYC you start taking the interstate through NY State.  Have never had the time to pick a Hudson Valley town to stay in for the night but that would be my recommendation.  That 3 hour stretch of interstate is relatively dull but not hectic like 95.  Then you can either veer off and go north through Vermont or continue north through NY and then cross into Vermont (if you are headed to Burlington, e.g.).  Those last three hours are on 2 lane roads, so slower driving but scenic.   NOTE:  I would NOT recommend making the drive in 1 day in winter because it gets dark very early and you can easily run into snow/ice.  That happened to me last year and the last 2 hours of driving was harrowing.  And take a paper map because if you are headed into the ski areas the cell service/GPS can be really spotty.

+1 we usually do it in one go, but have stopped in Hudson a few times on way to Quechee/Woodstock.  Talbott & Arding (bakery, grocer) in Hudson is a family favorite for lunch.  Longer drive than going through CT, but much less crazy.[/quote]
