[b]We flew directly from DC to Nantucket. Took like an hour and 15 minutes. Picked up our car and - woof. [/quote][/b]

But OMG the "traffic" on Nantucket with all of the big rental SUVs?  The congestion and nastiness at the two supermarkets?  The general unplesantness of the place.  The entitlement and arrogance?  We had a regular deal at a house but found the general traffic/parking/nastiness on the island to be just too much.  I'll never go back.  There are so many many other nicer places to go to (and cheaper - everything on Nantucket is hiked up on the excuse that it had to be flown or shipped in.  Well, yes, so does Amazon with my cat food and that's not going up.

I agree with the traffic but find the Nantucket stereotype of everyone being rich a**holes isn’t true at all. You’re more likely to find people biking around in old sweatshirts and flip flops than fancy cars and Gucci belts. A worn boat tote is the Nantucket birkin. It’s rugged, which contributes to the charm. There’s definitely *a lot* of wealth, but those people tend to stay on their compound rather than mingling around town or visiting the local beaches. You know people are rich by the houses and the food prices, but IMO you’d never guess that just by people watching. [/quote]
