Nearest Airport

• Boston Logan Airport: About an hour north of Plymouth – double that at rush hour. 
• Travel Tip: Southwest Airlines often has GREAT rates if you book in advance. No charge for bags, no penalties for changing your reservations. They are NOT on Expedia, Travelocity and the other 3rd-party web sites, so you need to go directly to their site, but worth checking.

Transportation Options from Boston Logan Airport

There are three options we recommend, depending on your preferences.

1. Rental Car: While not necessary, a car provides you with great flexibility and freedom, particularly in the evenings and Tuesday morning. The waterfront is less than ½ mile from the Best Western and there are many restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Free parking available at the Best Western.
2. Plymouth Brockton Shuttle Bus: Leaves Boston Logan airport and drops off at Plymouth Park & Ride – Rte 3 – Exit 5 (Long Pond Rd) – behind the Information Center. Adults $22 / Children (5-12) $11. Round trip is $40 adult / $20 child. Take cab from Exit 5, they are usually at the Info Center or call Pilgrim Taxi at (774) 269-3709 for the 10-minute ride to the hotel.
3. Train: Take free shuttle bus ( Silver Line SL1) from all arrival terminals at Boston Logan to South Station (15-minute ride with about 4-6 stops depending where you get on). Take Commuter Rail Kingston / Plymouth line from South Station to Plymouth Station. $11.50 per person. Take cab from Plymouth Station, they are already there waiting for the train, to Best Western, or call Pilgrim Taxi at (774) 269-3709 for the 10-minute ride to the hotel.

What to Wear

• Our desire is to communicate charity and respect to those around us by dressing modestly in coverage and fit whether we are on the battlefield or in the banquet room. Jeans and shorts are fine, as are appropriate t-shirts.
• Consider period dress for a day or two, even if it is just a hat. You will be amazed the impact it makes on you and others as you walk the same ground in the same attire as our predecessors, and it’s a lot of fun! Saturday, Monday and Tuesday are particularly good opportunities for Pilgrim garb in Plymouth. You will likely be be barraged with questions if you dress up—it’s a great opportunity to share the truth!

What to Bring

• Earbuds or headphones, hat, comfortable walking shoes as we will walk a lot, journal, camera, umbrella. We provide a wireless audio receiver and disposable earbuds that allow you to hear the guide’s voice in your ear. Many folks prefer to bring their own earbuds or headphones.

Dietary Restrictions

• We will communicate dietary restrictions to the relevant venues so they can prepare our meals accordingly.

What to Expect

• The general protocol for our days will be instruction on the bus or while walking to our venues, a brief explanation/interpretation at the venue and then a time to explore on your own or take the “house tour”. Our emphasis will be on the hearty souls that forged a nation out of wilderness and God’s work through them in the establishment of our country. We refer you to the local docents and literature to inform the more brute facts such as the height of the steeple or materials the bricks were made of.
