Busloads visit annually and other Rockport, MA Transportation Tips

Getting TO/AROUND: I drive up to Rockport because it takes only an hour and a half at the speed of Janet. However there are hundreds who come to Rockport each year via their bus tours. This year a shop owner told me that I noticed more French and English travellers because of the time of the year that I visited. Seems that the Europeans show up in October...along with many travellers from Pennsylvania. Don't know why...but that's the routine. He also told me that the age of the tour groups has been less than in the past. Perhaps it's the price of gas that is forcing even the 30 and 40 somethings to use the bus for their transportation and perhaps the economy of a package deal. At any rate, it appears to be the mode of choice for many.

Getting TO/AROUND: One of my favorite pics is my daughter, Susan arriving on the commuter train from Boston to spend a few days with me in Rockport. This is the last stop on the commuter line. It's a lovely ride through beautiful little towns all the way along. The execs take the train out of the city to their mansions by the ocean.
These were always such happy days for Susan and I. Rockport is pure relaxation for both of us.
