My husband & I will be attending a convention in Boston from May 1-5 and we would like to take a post meeting adventure.
We would like to spend about 3-4 days traveling by car to see some sights in driving distance from Boston. Maybe Cape Cod or points north?
We were thinking about taking a train out of Boston and renting a car in a smaller city to begin our travels in order to avoid driving in Boston.
We enjoy beautiful scenery, back roads, (my husband is a photographer) and I would be happy with some great antique stores!
The follow up question, before we book our flights, would be should we fly out of a different city by to San Diego (where we live) in order not to have to back track to Boston to fly home.
Thank you for your help!

You could consider flying in and out of Providence on Southwest or other carriers. You can get the bus to Boston right at the airport or you could cab it to the train in the city of Providence. When your meeting is finished, take the train or bus to Providence, rent a car and head for Newport, RI for your 3 days...very scenic...great photo ops...take a look at "gonewport.org"
