But i'd recommend basing near here out of the Taunton / Fall River area instead of New London though. It's about half way between Boston and New London and much closer to Bostons international airport. Driving sucks around here and the less you have to do of it the better time you'll have.

I've been thinking of another option. Stay in New London on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, but find a cheap hotel in Boston for Sunday night and Monday morning - assuming the meet drags into Monday like the last one. The commute between New London and Fall River is less than 90 minutes, from New London to Boston around 2 1/2 hours in traffic, but it's Portsmouth to New London I'm worried about. Driving three hours straight, on the last day of the meet, on an empty stomach, with the sun setting, and with the passenger-side navigator shouting steering instructions across three or four states...well, it just doesn't sound like fun!
Actually, driving through Providence is never fun, but you get the point.
