Thanks again for the information and insight offered. I will PM Paul and Paul in the next couple of days. We will be mostly insulated from the issues of local schools, politics, gun control and to some extent the cost of living. This is a work assignment that will be a lot of hard work but we're hoping to enjoy our time in New England too. Our big issues will be commute, quality of life, and general safety. We have been told that Madison CT is a good place to live and the commute isn't bad to Meriden. It looks pretty far to me on the map. Any insights into traffic patterns, commute times, and best places to live in the area? I'm already imagining long weekends taking the ferry to Montauk Point, Boston and New York. Any other suggestions for activities?
