     Connecticut is a victim of geography. Pulled in different directions by the urban gravity of New York City and Boston, Connecticut is often cast as a state of suburbs: vapid, whitewashed suburbs. But while it might not have that big city, bright lights appeal, Connecticut is much more than a place to sleep for people who want to be someplace else.

     When you're exploring Connecticut, geography is actually on your side. Connecticut is the third smallest state in America; everything is within a few hours' drive. And almost everything you'll see along Connecticut's highways and byways will remind you of a New England you probably thought existed only in the movies. If you get there in October or November, the leaves around Mystic, Connecticut will be in full color; a beautiful backdrop for a tour the 19th century ships that lay in anchor there, and the nautical museums on shore. New Haven, Connecticut is home to Yale University. Strolling around the open campus' ivy covered brick buildings, you can almost imagine yourself attending classes.

     Of course, it doesn't take an Ivy League education to know that Connecticut, even for a state its size, has enough to keep you fascinated for years.

     Now that you're moving to Connecticut, there are a couple facts you'll want to remember:
