Help Needed With Transporation

Yes, it's me again, with yet another issue that needs to be addressed. We have an itinerary, we have accommodations, we have dates, my Diabetes shouldn't be an issue, but I've still got one little problem...

My mom is nagging me about the transportation issue again. I can take a Greyhound bus from Hartford to Boston, and from Boston to Hartford at the beginning and end of the meet without much of a hassle. She wants to go on vacation with two of her sisters to Vermont while I'm away, wants to know when and where I'll end up at the end of the meet, and seems to have a low opinion of grown men ("yes, I know you get along well online, but they are grown men, and they will strand you!") in general.

Looking at Greyhound's website, I can get on a bus at 9:15 and arrive at the bus stop in Boston at 11:45. For returning, I could either take the 7:30 PM bus on the 26th, or take a 9:30, 11:30, or 1:00 bus on the 27th, assuming I'm still in Boston. I'd love to stick around for a fifth day, but the first option is looking pretty inviting right now.

Now, I don't want to overly encumber anyone here, but I'm going to need some kind of way of getting between the airport and the Greyhound station if I end up taking this route. I can enlist some help from my family hauling my ass between Hartford and home, but Boston is a little tricky. I'm still a total noobie when it comes to SUBSIM meets, but I'd be incredibly appreciative to anyone who could help me a little bit with transportation. I'm starting to realize how difficult life can be without a car!
