USA Domestic travel around 4th July
We are travelling from Australia to the USA later this year and will also be there for the 4th of July (in Boston) which is on a Tuesday
We will be travelling from DC to Boston on 2nd of July (Sunday). We have been considering train or plane. Plane by far is quickest but train, for us is part of the journey rather than just a "trip" to get from A to B.
What I'm interested in is, I have read a bit about on travelling on "4th of July weekend" being quite nightmarish and certainly much busier as one would expect. Though these accounts, from what I have read have all be where the 4th has fallen on the weekend itself. This year, with it being on a Tuesday, I'm not sure what the preceding Sunday might be like so am just looking for anyone with personal experience or views?
thanks in advance.
