Getting to Provincetown

Updates coming

Cape Cod, with Provincetown at the tip

Provincetown is located at curled fingers of the flexed arm of Massachusetts. There are many ways to get to P-town. I have just started adding links to this page. Here's the quick of it:

. 20 minutes via Cape Air from Logan International Airport; rental cars are available at the Provincetown Airport, but you must reserve in advance. If you prefer not to drive, the airport is just a mile or so from the Provincetown Inn, and it's a zip of a taxi ride along Province Lands Road. See picture and info belo for the special Conference airfare

. 90 minutes via The Provincetown Fast Ferry, from the Bay State Cruise Company, Seaport Blvd. in Boston
. 2.5 hours driving from Logan Airport in Boston to the Provincetown Inn

. 2.5 hours driving from T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, R.I. (near Providence), with less traffic than from Boston

20 minutes from Logan Airpiort in Boston to the Provincetown Airport, which is a mile from the Conference

Another option, below: the Provincetown fast ferry, which zips from Boston to P-town in 90 minutes. McMillan Wharf, where the ferry docks in P-town, is about a mile from the Provincetown Inn.  Here's the schedule for 2011. We'll update the schedule as soon as the 2012 timetable is available.

We'll work on getting you a discount for Conference 6 as we did this past June

Here's how to get from Logan Airport to the Ferry. I have pulled the info below from the ferry website:Taxi: The quickest way to get to the ferry. Simply ask the taxi driver who picks you up at your terminal to take you to World Trade Center, lower level, on Seaport Blvd. You will be taken on a quick 5-10 minute ride through Boston's Ted Williams tunnel directly to our pier at World Trade Center. Our ships depart from the West side (the city side) of the pier. The cab fare is approximately $15 without gratuity. (JM's suggestion: You've come this far, take the taxi. It's faster and easier than anything else.)

Silver Line: An MBTA articulated bus makes the rounds of all airport terminals every 15 minutes for an eight-minute trip through a dedicated tunnel to the World Trade Center stop, one block inland from our dock. Fares are approximately $1.50 per passenger. Total time from your airport terminal curb to our dock, once aboard the bus, is approximately 14 minutes.

Water Taxi:  An airport water transportation bus, clearly marked "Water Transportation", circles all of the airport's terminals. The bus will order a City Water Taxi for you and deliver you to the water taxi. The water taxi ride from Logan Airport to the Provincetown boat takes 7 minutes. Two boat companies leave from this terminal: City Water Taxi, www.citywatertaxi.com and Rowes Wharf Water Taxi, http://www.roweswharfwatertaxi.com/ . The water taxi fare is approximately $10.00 per person.

P-town!

Orienting you to your travel options to the Provincetown Inn:

. The Inn is at the very end of Commercial Street, at the left side of the map. Look for the lighthouse icon with the arrow that says "Wood End." Next to it is "First Pilgrim Park." That's where the Inn is located. (Yes, you will be staying exactly where the Pilgrims first landed in the New World!)

. By Fast Ferry: McMillan Wharf, where the ferry arrives, is just above the "E" in PROVINCETOWN. There are always taxis and pedicabs at the wharf to meet arriving passengers

. Cape Air: Look for the airplane icon at the top of the map, just under the second "T" in ATLANTIC OCEAN
