Travel Green: Free Yourself From the Labor of Driving

This Labor Day weekend, literally walk on foot on the green, and keep the car at home or at least minimize its use. Here are some ideas:

– Go, bicycles, and yes, take transit (even lowly bus) to local parks, monuments, shopping, attractions and special events in your community. It is amazing how much more visible and experience, especially with your family when you’re free from “looking out for the other guy.”

– Consider taking train, bus or ferry as a foot passenger (s) to out-of-town locations, which are attractions that are easy to reach on foot.

Many “Commuter rail network and” Commuter buses “have excellent service weekend and there are often combining local buses and / or taxi service downtowns / activity centers.

Some of my favorites, and transit available from the community weekend Commuter rail / bus are, in no particular order:

* Rockport, MA (Quaint fishing / artist suburban villages in the north-east of Boston, MBTA Commuter rail from North Station)

* Woods Hole, MA (Walkable villages, at home oceanographic institute, buses, ferries from Boston to Martha’s Vineyard)

* Provincetown, MA (famous, loud, proud, historic, beach and tourist cities with direct ferry catches summer from Boston, and buses through Hyannis)

* Burlington, Vt. (Vermont’s largest city, the great center, travel by train and ferry in Champlain, Amtrak and Greyhound from New York, Greyhound from Boston over the gorgeous I-89 north-west of Concord, NH)

* Cold Spring, NY (Quaint community, onetime military arsenal town, which lies within the Hudson from West Point, Metro North from Grand Central Terminal, New York – The train ride is worth it alone)

* Watch Hill Beach, Fire Island, NY (Long Island Rail Road to Patchogue, ferry to Fire Island – to find a beach packages – Watch Hill is the nicest and quietest of the barrier beaches)

* Ocean Grove, NJ (NJ Transit Commuter rail to Asbury Park, a short cab ride or walk into the city. Ocean Grove is a quaint, and dry, the family community founded by Methodist Church)

* Old Unionville, Ontario [near Toronto] (TTC then the subway to Finch York Region Transit. Old Unionville is a quaint Victorian village set in sprawlburbia)

– Or better yet, stay at home. Turn off the electronics, hang loose in the back yard and spent time with your family, relatives, or chill without distractions and stress.

Have a great weekend!
