Tall Paul:
BDL is my home airport, and isn't too bad to get out of quickly. All the car rental places are a bus ride away though.

The maps show I-90 as a toll road, but there are no tolls between the I-91 junction and the NY border. They will give you a ticket - BE SURE TO KEEP IT. If you lose your ticket, they'll assume you've come from Boston, where there IS a toll on the Mass Pike ($3.25). Confusing to non-residents, but business as usual here in the Peoples' Republic of Massachusetts.

When you cross the NY border, you'll be paying tolls.

Larrude:
Upstate NY is a tough place for mid-week. I'm finding that Michigan is equally tough.

I've got two one-overnight trips to do out there, and $650+ is a tough fare.

I've got a list of places from BDL that are good to "nest" through. They allow me to do mid-week for $200-$500 below what a direct mid-week might be.
