Getting to the Vineyard

We got up at 6:30am and took a cab at 7am to the Hertz rental place in midtown and drove for the next three hours to New London, Connecticut. Then, we grabbed a taxi from the Hertz drop off place to get to the docks. We waited there for about two hours and took a 2 and a half-hour boat. The boat arrived at 2:30pm. A total of 8 hours of traveling just to get from NYC to Martha's Vineyard. Is it worth it?

During the entire trip, the answer was a decided no, but now that we're here and I can hear the crickets and the seagulls, I'm having second thoughts. It might be a pain in the ass to get here, but it's like a little piece of heaven on earth, which must be the reason we’re willing to repeat this ordeal several times a summer.
