Pete, Mystic is a favorite destination of mine and I suggest at least a full day there, perhaps two.
Aside from the seaport, the town is a great walk and there are a hundred or so quaint shops and outlets near 95. Restaurant-wise, you can't go wrong. Lots of great choices for seafood and steaks in and around town. And, if you are feeling lucky, 20 minutes away are both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos - fun places for an evening of gambling or shows. For lodging, the Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt are all very comfortable. I've stayed at the Holiday Inn Express there too and have been very happy there.

Naturally, I'm most interested in the sailing attractions, such as Newport, Mystic Seaport, and the like. At this point, I'm thinking of renting a car in Providence and exploring as many places as I can over a 5-day period. I'd like to do one of the harbor cruises on a 12 meter as well as enjoy local cuisine. Beyond these, I don't have much else on my to-do list. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Pete W.
