Thanks for all the tips. Our trip went well...the Fairfield Inn in Tewksbury offered us the Gov/Mil rate of $69 with the Airline ID...I thought that was pretty nice of them. Clean, comfortable and free breakfast.
I've had good luck with Budget rent-a-car for the 4th time in a row now using our airline discount code in various parts of the country. DRO, BOS, HNL, and CHS.
Getting to and from BOS via car was a lot easier with the tunnels...I grew up on the central artery which sucked bigtime!
