Thank
you for coming down to New England! The wedding will take place just
over the Rhode Island border into Massachusetts. Providence is a great
little city to explore and Rehoboth is, well, even smaller than most
of you can imagine. Rehoboth comes from the Hebrew word for "crossroads"
and indeed, you'll need to keep rt. 44 and rt.118 in mind when traveling
to our wedding. This intersection is the only stoplight in town!
Because parking is limited, we will be carpooling to the ceremony at
Goff Hall (which also houses the Blanding
Library) in the old village of Rehoboth, MA. It's located at 124
Bay State Rd. We kindly request that you leave your car at Vanessa's
parents' house at 161 Anawan St (rt.118) in Rehoboth, MA. We'll be carpooling.
After the ceremony, we will be returning to the reception at 161 Anawan
St.
* Update* We made a mistake on the invitation. If you are driving to
161 Anawan from 44, it's on the right not the left
side of the road.

If you are flying into Providence's TF
Green airport, you'll need to drive up 95, bear to the right onto
195E past Providence and then take rt 44 to get to Johnson
& Wales Inn, and then further to 118 to get directly to the
ceremony and reception in Rehoboth. This is about a 25 minute drive.

If you're flying into Boston's Logan
airport, you can drive down to Rehoboth in about an hour. You'll
get off 95 at Attleboro to 152 and wind your way down 118. See below:

Amtrak also runs to Providence
Station.
For bus folks, the Chinatown Bus does not stop in Providence. You'll
need to take Bonanza
(now owned by Peter Pan).
There's no public transportation from Providence to Rehoboth. So let
is know if you'll need carpooling!
Guests of the Johnson & Wales Inn who need transportation from the
airport, train, or bus can call the front desk of J & W (508-336-8700)
and make a reservation on their shuttle van. They will need your arrival
time from the flt/train/bus. It is $12 per person, suggested tip $3.
The front desk checks schedules to see if things are running on time.
