After Salem, we spent the evening packing up everything we could. When we came out, we spent two days in the traveling. But we wanted to get home faster and save ourselves some hotel money, so we decided to make the return drive in one day.
In the morning, Darwin hauled our stuff outside while I fetched the car and managed to park it reasonably close to the flat we'd rented. Parking in Boston is a true nightmare, one on par with driving in Boston. And when you find a spot, it's expensive. We paid close to $200 in parking fees. We also paid close to $100 in toll road fees. And gas is a lot more expensive there. And . . .
At any rate, we loaded up before anyone noticed I was illegally blocking a driveway and we zipped away. Even though it was a Sunday morning, it took a long time to work our way out of the city.
Fourteen hours later--fourteen LONG hours later--we arrived home, our vacation complete!
