What about ye Glebe1?

I have the same problem in that New England is suddenly a lot bigger than we imagined. Have a look at my post ';New England in the Fall';

There are a couple of suggestions there you might find helpful.

Once you have decided what your tour is going to be please let me know so that we can maybe get a bit of inspiration from yourself, either on a post or email gormaxwell@blueyonder.co.uk

Hi,

New England isn%26#39;t big at all. Reaching Northern areas of Maine is the longest at 6+ hours or so. Everything else is perfectly easy, especially if you have a couple nights to spend once you arrive. Figure around 2-4 hours driving to these places at the most. For example, from Cape Cod to the White Mountains of New Hampshire is around 4 hours. From Boston, 3 hours. The ride especially becomes nice once up in New Hampshire and time flies by. I wouldn%26#39;t consider anywhere in New England unreachable when you have time to spend once you reach there. If I had 6 free nights, I would be loving it!

Will - there might be a cultural difference here - an older Irish cousin expressed surprise that we would drive from Galway to Dublin in one day (it is 3 - 3.5 hours!) She said, ';Oh, I forgot - in America, you think 100 years is a long time, in Ireland, we think 100 miles is a long way'; ;o)

Many thanks for your ideas guys.

I think I have the trip kinda sorted now.

Boston 3 days, Cape Cod 3 days, Woodstock 3 days

and Bar Harbour 3 days before heading back to fly out of Boston. Only part not sure on is Bar Harbour. Should

we be staying further south along the coast in Maine?
