    I talked to someone who lives there in RI in Bristol and they say it is no longer...perhaps they are wrong and it will open up later in the summer?

    My flight arrives at PVD at 4:20 PM on 8/1/24 if all 3 Southwest Airlines flights (ABQ-DEN-BWI-PVD) get me there on time! I'll be taking Uber/Lyft to to the college. Happy to take another rider along if we're at PVD at same time. Contact me pennerink@gmail.com or by text at (505) 306-0369.

    Hi Emily - there is a ferry to Bristol from Providence. It runs several times a day.

    Here's one, but I think there are a couple. I've not finished my research, and given that I don't know how long the train will be from Boston to Providence (or even where I'll acquire the ticket), I'm not sure how workable this will be but I surely do love the idea!??

    Hi--they finally posted the ferry schedule and it's not viable for our purposes. 1.) it only runs weekends and holidays, and 2.) it only runs to and from once per day with about 11 hours in between.  I am determined, however, to find some way to get on the water during this trip??!!

    Deb, I'm taking the Amtrak in (after the plane up, and subway from the airport) probably arriving around 3 that day and am totally up to share further transport to Bristol.  You have my email so let's coordinate there....!
