Wow tough call. Seeing that you need to be in Boston at a specific time, I would map out a place or three that you really wanted see, get to them in a reasonable amount of time and relax. You're probably looking at 1,000 miles from Charleston to Boston.

I travel 95 through MD, DE, NJ, NY, CT, RI and finally MA (20 mi south of Boston) a few times a year - and every trip is different as far as traffic goes. I can generally make the 450+- mile trip to the grandkids in Bowie, MD in about 8 hrs, driving all interstate at about 70 mph, normal traffic, no sight seeing and in a C6 or mini van. If I were driving (450 miles) back roads, sight seeing, maybe taking a ferry and etc - I would plan on 2 - 3 days. You can easily kill a day driving along the RI coast, going to Newport, etc and still be 1 1/2 hrs from Boston.

Good luck in your planning, if I can help just yell!

Made our reservations today! Thumbs Up

Booked for both hotels on the trip down. We won't be in Chincoteague until way after dinner (like 9:00 PM at best), so don't save us a seat - but keep the light on for us Wink

I'll have the bottle opener ready and a bottle on ice in the car Nadine. LOL

Are we there yet? Dave - thanks for organizing!

FYI - 17S will be a lot of traffic lights and traffic through North Myrtle Beach & Myrtle Beach and will make a long trip from Surf City. You may want to consider the bypass which is 90/31 and runs parallel to MB. Nothing to see in MB anyway taking 17.

We can figure that one out on Tuesday night at the pool. We're not in a big rush, have plenty of time to get there on Wednesday.

In that case - you might consider Ocean Blvd and Ocean Drive which are "beach front" with the Hotel between you and the dunes instead of 17
