Cape Cod, Etc.

We're planning a trip to Cape Cod in early to mid October this year. I think I have the Cape part mostly planned out, thanks to suggestions here, but have a few questions about the "Ect" part of the trip. My DW and I would like to do a day trip to Nantucket and another day trip to Martha's Vineyard while we are in the area. It seems doable, but I'd like a little advice from those who live there or have experience. I'm thinking of staying mid-Cape, so the passenger ferry out of Hyannis seems most reasonable. We're thinking of using the bus system on both islands to get around. Does this seem like a reasonable plan? We are both mid-60's in age and can get around reasonably well, but don't want to over do it either. I welcome all suggestions.
TIA

    We've stayed at Sweetwater Forest in Brewster a few times & liked it. Never made it to Martha's Vinyard but we've done the ferry to Nantucket & just walked around. You can also rent bicycles, we've never done the bus. I consider the whaling museum on Nantucket better than the NPS one in New Bedford.

    Take your bikes, the Cape Cod Rail Trail is nice.
