<p>Logan has a bad rep but I use it constantly and have rarely had airport-related problems. Providence is definitely nicer (smaller) and closer to Wheaton but not necessarily worth extra stops. Make sure you check out Southwest, which does not show up on Orbitz, etc.</p>
<p>Interstate driving south from Boston is not a big problem (except rush hour: 4-6 PM). However, driving IN Boston is a completely different story, and best avoided.</p>
