We made it to New Jersey with no problems! Emily arrived at the house right on schedule and we were on the road by noon. Had spiedies, a Binghamton area specialty, for lunch before leaving New York. Then on to New Jersey, shedding layers of clothes while we drove. It was 50 when we left New York and, like all VW's of the past, we had no heat. New Jersey is considerably warmer! Now if Cousin John can figure out what those strange noises are coming from the front end.... Stay tuned.
