leith i always found that flying in and out of bradley was way more expensive than other airports. not sure if there are many routes to/from the west coast to that airport.
if it will save you some cash, fly into an nyc airport and i can help you out. i\'m 45 min from jfk and laguardia (going there after work today! woot!).
i\'m planning on spending the 4th of july in stamford, but in case you wanted to head up to new haven i am within 5 min of the train station (fare to new haven is $6.25).
let me know what i can do to help out! can\'t wait to see you
