Something similar to yours HR Nick, there are a couple small ferries that cross the river between the New York border and 3 neighboring States, My wife and I used all of them when we were on our honeymoon many years ago. And I was thinking over the winter to repeat that trip but in the coupe this time. There's also a ferry at Lake Champlain that I'd like to try....

I am also guilty of having to be told to use or lose my vacation hours since I've maxxed the hours collectable for a year... sigh...
