I have always taken a car. When I went to Hampton beach, trafffic was not horrible, but that was near rthe end of the summer. Traffic is worse going to Cape Cod.

As for train, sounds like a good idea. Public transportation, surprisingly, does take you to lots of places around here. It's if you want to deal with the cancer that is called the mbta.

LOL, as if the roadways and the drivers in Boston weren't bad enough:laugh: You take your life in your hands just crossing the street in Greater Boston. Unfortunately the worse drivers all drive the Buses for the MBTA

Boston's better than New York though, ain't it?

I wouldn't know, when I was in NYC I took a Cab everywhere and by nature all Cab Drives suck no matter where you are.

NH is the best state to live in.

Low crime, right next to a metropolitan area (Boston), clean air, mostly suburban, many cities within are rated "Best Cities to Live In", no tax, etc.

"right next to"? Since when is a 1 hour ride (and that is only to nashua) "right next to'?

I live in Salem, NH which is a 30 minute ride. That's pretty close

Take 93 all the way down, it's around 30 miles.

On Rt. 93, Salem is Exit 1. Going to MA your exits go backwards (1, 48, 47, 46). So I take Rt. 93 from Exit 1 all the way down to Boston.

Lowell, MA is 20 minutes away for me, too. Keep in mind though, it is different because you need to go south on 93, and then take 495 for quite a while. You don't have to do that for Boston.
