Day in Cape Cod/Franklin MA
We're very suddenly going to Massachusetts for an event for my husband's
job. We'll have exactly one day (Saturday) to spend on our own. We'll be eating somewhere on Cape Cod in the evening. Part of the job event. I've done no research, no planning, and we just got tickets, reservations, car rental yesterday. I've been to Boston and Plymouth and such (although many years ago, when I went to high school). I;ve never been to the Cape. My husband has not been there since he was 7. What do people recommend we consider doing? -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

Juliana,
It depends on where on the Cape you need to be for dinner. Do you know? Barb Juliana L Holm wrote in message ... We're very suddenly going to Massachusetts for an event for my husband's job.

Alas, no.
We are tentatively thinking of two different approaches to this. The first is to go, at least for the morning and early afternoon, to Plymouth and see the Mayflower II and Plymouth Plantation. Then to head out and just drive on the scenic highways of the cape in the afternoon. The other is to just go driving on the cape and stop at the various villages. I hope we will know where dinner is today. . . . Julie Barb wrote: Juliana, It depends on where on the Cape you need to be for dinner. Do you know? Barb Juliana L Holm wrote in message ...

We spent a week there 2 years ago and were very unimpressed by this overrated part of New England. Plymouth was much more interesting and if you have not been before I would head that way. Woody |

Dennis to Marconi Station pretty much totally in the woods... then has on and off sections and becomes a true off road trail again in Provincetown. There is also a recreational (no traffic) trail all along the Cape Cod Canal. There are many places to rent bikes on the Cape. The riding is very easy and extremely scenic! |
