Thanks for all the tips so far guys, I'm not well versed in cross border travel. Only been to the US a couple of times.

I thought about the ferry but from my understanding, if I rent a good economical type of car I can get there on two tanks of gas and it's about 5 hours driving, not bad at all.

The reason I didn't think flying was good was because of how cheap it would be to drive and also, it's on Dec. 23. Could be tough to get a flight at that time this late in the year, and even if we could, flying at Christmas time is a pain.

Don't we have a member here on CP who is from the Boston area? Ryan Lambert? He should know of a good place to stay I would think.
