[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your ferry leaves on a Saturday afternoon from Woods Hole, you really need to be in Massachusetts that morning.  Cape Cod traffic is horrific on a weekend!  I wouldn't risk staying overnight in NYC (are you talking about staying overnight on Friday, then leaving Sat am for Massachusetts?)

I would push through to someplace closer -- maybe say overnight in Providence?  Stop in Mystic or Watch Hill, RI, then get as close as you can to the ferry departure.  You do not want to stress about missing your ferry![/quote]

I would say you can do it from southern CT.  I'm the poster who suggested the hotels in Greenwich, NOrwlak and Fairfield.  We have done this many times and it was fine but we did get up early and get moving in the morning and we did have major traffic on our way to cape and didn't have much extra time.  If you stay in NYC then you have to factor the time getting out of the city and then making the drive. The problem is you just don't know what kind of traffic you might have and everyone goes to the cape on saturdays for their saturday to saturday rentals. And where are you going to park in NYC?? because if you are parked in a garage ( that they park for you) then you might have to wait 15 minutes for them to get your car out etc...   I would leave very early if you are planning on staying in nyc

We have also done Mystic, CT.  Those hotels also book up on weekends in the summer so make a reservation.  [/quote]
