we took off Friday for "The Sweetest Place On Earth" - Hershey , PA
the GPS directed us through lower Manhattan to take the Holland tunnel ... this might have been a very good idea at say 3 AM
4 PM on Friday - not so much
it took us 45 minutes to go one block ... we also discovered that NYC, in its wisdom, has decided that between the hours of 4 PM - 7 PM all routes leading to the Holland tunnel are closed to traffic - the trip was supposed to take 3 1/2 hour s- it ended up taking 5 1/2 because it took 2 hours to get across Manhattan....
then the GPS power connection cord, which plugs into the cigarette lighter, (brand new out of the box 4 hours earlier) stopped working
this was a problem since wewere counting on the GPS and I left my google maps printout at home
