No problem. If I remember correctly it is on the correct side of the road so no u turns are needed . . . going to the show. Now that I think about it, might be harder coming back after a day of Buffett tailgate.

For that, you would go up to the Dean Street exit. Take a left at the end of the ramp and then a left at the lights and then you're southbound again.

We booked the Holiday Inn ,Mansfield. We stayed there last year for the GW show and had a great time\. The staff went out of their way to welcome Parrotheads.

I am not that familiar with the local area, it looks there is a back way to gillette on google earth, is it real or do you need a helocopter?

You could take 140 North through center of Foxboro and then Route 1 from there and hook up near the stadium. Probably about 7 or 8 miles. The only thing is you hit a rotary in the center and you have to keep an eye for the exit for 140 North.

Anyone arriving early and want to do something in the city of Boston, let me know.

Tom and I have talked of this idea. If we could get a group together, that would be great. Besides Ravi, I might need you to help with directions just like you did to Mo's in NYC!!!

I almost forgot about that but the looks on your faces when I asked if you were going to the flocking at Mo's was priceless.

I'll be in Salem MA earlier in the week but I'd risk getting lost if there was a reason to go into Boston! It's not far I'm just directionally impaired

From there, it's better to get a ride to the train station and ride the T into North Station then we can meet there.

I was hoping that was the case, I'd like that much better. Getting a cab or something from where I'm staying wouldn't be too hard

Oh yes it is.... Can't remember if Salem has a train station, I think it does.

I just looked at the website for the hotel where I"m staying and the train station is a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Now if I come back REAAALLLY late that might be an issue. But at least I have a lot of time to figure it out.

Thanks for the insight
