Hey I got a call from Tequila, he left a msg regarding C of C but no return phone #. If anyone can get a hold of him ask him to call me back, please

Dr. Bob I don't see the train station at 1 mile away that you mentioned...do you know where it is??
I looked these up on the AMTRAK site and Mapquested the distances:

Providence, RI, 100 Gaspee St. 20.76 miles approx 26 minutes

Westwood, MA, 50 University Ave. 16.41 miles approx 19 minutes

Does this help Johnny O??

The train station that is 1 mile from the hotel is the MBTA commuter line. If you check ground transportation from either Airport they have the routes listed. The Hotel says on their website that their shuttle will pick you up from the MBTA commuter rail station. I think the commuter line runs from the AMTRAK stations also.

Right you are, Smitty!! I did a little more research (after I posted here, DOH!!) and found that the MBTA does run from Providence to Mansfield.
So, it'll be AMTRAK to Providence, MTBA to Mansfield, Shuttle to hotel!!
Very cool!!

Smitty, Bud, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. (I forgot ya had a landline instead of a cell-phone, Bud, and my number probably didn't show upon it)

Johhny-O and I talked about this at Getaway's Halloween party Saturday, and I told him I'd get back to ya. Kenny St. Onge and I talked about this about 10 days ago. It seems that if you're flying into Green airport in Providence, that you can take the MBTA commuter train right into Mansfield, and there is a shuttle bus available to take you to the hotel. I'm going to PM you with my number and some more info, so you can get back to me if you need to.

Catch ya later, Tequila

I cannot explain why I'm a vanner. For those who understand, no explaination is needed. For those who don't, no explaination is possible.

My boyfriend and I are planning a day trip into Boston the Saturday of the event to visit Quincy Market, The Freedom Trail, the North End, and the Rose Kennedy Greenway. I used to live in Boston so I know all the best places to go. If you are interested in joining me and Eric on our excursion let me know.

I am thinking of a couple of trips on Thursday or Friday myself. Let the board know of all ideas you may have out there.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again,
