Another way from Burlington Mall is to get on Rt 3, take it North to
495, take 495 South to I-290. Another way that might be more direct is
to take Rt 2 out to 495 (I happen to know that from the junction of Rt 2
and 495 it's about the same distance on Rt 2 to 128 as it is on 495 to
Rt 3). Either of these routes should be shorter than going down to the
Mass Pike.

instead of Billerica MA for Christmas... I have told my mother we might
have to make a trip to Orlando though...)
