Thank you guys so much. As for renting the car-we are flying into Providence and have to drive to Boston plus as Texans we would feel naked without a car -so need one for moral support even if we don't use it
. In Texas you don't walk anywhere- but drive.
I don't think I could take home a lobster as I would want to free all of the lobsters -I probably should steer clear of the seafood places
but thanks for the suggestions when i know more specifics I will post, my friend is planning the trip.
