Hurricane Earl - Labor Day Weekend

Optimists hope that Earl will move through quickly, so that visitors can still enjoy a last hurrah for summer at the beach. Our Guide for New England Travel talks about what makes Cape Cod and Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard so special, and has all the practical info -- where to stay, ferries, temperatures -- as well.
