New plan for New York...

[garyhaupt]

We were going to go to Boston for a couple 3 days but our style of travel is more just stumbling aroud looking at places. Fish boats and old houses.

So, we are looking at renting a car in New York and just going for a drive up along what I shall refer to as the coast. Maybe as far as Dennis Beach?

My question then is....renting a car right in NYC seems kinda like trouble looking to happen. If we trundle on out to saaayy...New Rochelle? Or Greenwich? I am asking your thoughts on that...and how would we best accomplish this?

Also if you have any ideas about cool stuff to see?

Head north of Boston to Rockport, Gloucester, Newburyport, Marblehead, anywhere north of the city.

I'm not even sure what your asking

This is what we did for 6 months on the road. We weren't towing anything so when we needed to get groceries or wanted to explore, we made sure we picked a campground within Enterprise's pickup distance and rented from them.

Consider Aces High in East Lyme CT as your base. There's an Enterprise in New London.

As far as what to see
Mystic Seaport, New London CT
Take US 1 through coastal Rhode Island.
Cross Narragansett Bay at the Newport Bridge
Explore a Newport mansion
North to I-195, take US6 when you get east of Fairhaven MA
Several coastal towns along US6. This route also goes the entire length of Cape Cod.
