Many thanks for advice on Boston trip!

My wife and I returned home (safely) on Tuesday evening, after 1,036 miles.
We took I-84 across CT, mostly because I believed (correctly) that my wife would fall asleep on the drive, and simpler directions are always my choice when on my own for navigation AND driving. Not bad--a few slow spots to 25mph, especially around Hartford.
We went Fire and Ice Mon. night--really cool restaurant! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Drove around Boston a bit that night as well (8-10:30pm), and we really liked the city. Wish we could have spent more time exploring. The public garden is beautiful. A thoroughly relaxing trip. I'd go back, if only to be able to get to see F1 racing--that was one thing we had to cut out, unfortunately.
We had a great time, although I wished we could have stayed longer and done more. Our '88 9000 turbo did great on the highway out and back (29.9 mpg for the whole trip!), but I was getting a weird steering wheel vibration driving around MA. So we spent Monday afternoon at some strip mall in Saugus while Firestone checked out the front end. Everything was fine. I didn't have internet access, so no SAABNet for me until we got back, and after a search, looks like I need to check my control arm rear bushings. With 196,000 miles, I'm sure they're due.
Thanks again for all your help--a much better vacation because of you guys.
