Vermont Montreal to Boston - anything interesting en route?
Posted: Sun May 10, 2009 01:37 PM UTC
We plan to drive from Montreal downtown to Boston downtown on a Monday morning.
What would you suggest to do: drive straight to Boston or spend the day aong the way sightseeing. We could drive through or spend the whole day somewhere, we have time but I don't know if there is anything interesting to see in Vermont or New Hampshire... Which route would you choose?

I would also like to know what would be the best border crossing to take on a Monday morning - a bigger one (traffic jam?) or a smaller, secluded one? Is it suspicious if we cross a border (with foreign passports in a rented car) in such small place, should we better go to a larger crossing with more international travellers? Which one would you suggest? Thanks!

Vermont Family Vacation to New England
Posted: Wed May 6, 2009 12:41 PM UTC
We are planning a family vacation to New England in late October but have no idea which area to stay in. We were thinking of Vermont and I would really appreciate some advice on where would be best to go. My children are aged 9, 6 and 3 so ideally would like some activites to keep them amused. I would also really love to experience the tradional picturesque villages and some good shopping. We prefer a quiet life to busy and just really appreciate beautiful scenery. We will be flying into Boston and then driving. Thanks!

Vermont Ascutney---still that bad?
Posted: Mon April 27, 2009 06:15 PM UTC
Hi,

I've rad some pretty negative reviews about Ascutney, mostly from last winter and previously.

Are the facilities and pool, etc., still that bad as we begin the 2009 season? Or have there be significant improvements?

Thanks very much.

Cathy

Vermont 2 week holiday in New England
Posted: Mon June 16, 2008 10:39 PM UTC
Hi all

my girlfriend and I are going to spend 2 weeks in New England and we are trying to establish an itinerary that allow us to cover the main must-do's of North and Central Vermont, New Hampshire, Mid Coast Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and finishing in New York City. We know we would need months to cover properly all this area, that's why we are looking for information about what we should not miss from people living there or have been there. We are arriving from Montreal to Burlington by bus and we want to drive through the states finishing in NY City. Any tips on car rental around Burlington then will be really appreciated, too. We want to return the car near NY.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Vermont Vermont Maple Sugar Houses - best family-friendly suggestion?
Posted: Thu February 21, 2008 02:05 AM UTC
I'm looking to take my kids for a weekend trip to VT to go visit a maple sugaring house/farm. What is the peak time to do this?

Ideally, we'd like to be "near" the flagship Vermont Country Store in Weston, but more importantly would like to make sure we go to a great sugaring farm with a great breakfast. A bonus would be to have a hotel/inn that had an indoor pool...any suggestions? We live south of Boston and would like to stay closer to southern or central VT, if possible (the kids would go bananas if we drove "too" far north...) and any extra family-friendly suggestions would be so appreciated.

Thank you!

Vermont Hunting question
Posted: Wed September 19, 2007 03:12 PM UTC
Hi,

I wonder if I could ask a quick question. Im from Great Britain and am planning to visit New England in late October. The only thing that concerns me is wether we would see any hunting going on – I know this all sounds a bit soft (and Im not questioning anybodys beliefs or anything like that) – but my girlfriend is a little queasy at the prospect of seeing animals being shot and doesn’t really want to go if that’s the

Kind of thing we would see.

Vermont Vermont in 3 days/2 nights
Posted: Tue August 7, 2007 08:40 PM UTC
We're driving through vermont on route to Connecticut and want a B&B to stay for 2 nights. We plan to visit Lake Champlain and the Green Mt Nat Forest and would rather stay near the latter - can anyone recommend a place - is Manchester or Wilmington nice and if so which places could we stay? Or are they very commercialised and should we stay somewhere else. I would appreciate you help.

Vermont Visitng VT this October
Posted: Mon July 16, 2007 07:25 PM UTC
My husband & I will be coming to VT in mid October. We plan to stay in Stowe, Vt for a few days. The original plan was to stay in Boston for 2 nights, Stowe, VT for 2 nights, and then Lincoln, NH for 2 nights. We are starting to think that we should just stick to 3 nights in VT and 3 in Boston. We will be flying into Boston. It's our first time to New England and want to make the most of it w/o over dueing it. Will we be missing out by not going over to NH?

Vermont Buying ski clothing near Smugglers Notch
Posted: Wed June 20, 2007 06:41 PM UTC
Hi

Im going to be in Smugglers Notch for a week this September, and then have a ski trip planned for Colorado next April.

Now I need to buy a new ski suit as mine is somewhat aged (along with me!), and was thinking of buying one when im in Vermont. Are there are recommended places to go and buy one, and are they reasonably priced at that time of year??

Thanks in advance

Vermont A Week near Stowe-Day trips
Posted: Sun May 13, 2007 09:26 PM UTC
Hi there

Im going to be spending a week in Smugglers Notch in September this year with my wife, my 19 year old son and my parents. I wanted to know what daytrips we could take around the area. I have hired a car for the week.

1) We were thinking of going to Montreal for a day-do you think this is possible/will we be able to do Montreal any justice in just one day?

I looked up a few things-the Ice Cream factory and Cider mill certainly sound appealing! But, obviously as we don't have any small children, we will be giving the teddy bear factory a miss.

As we're going to be there for only a week (having already spent 3 days in NYC/Washington DC each, and a couple of days in Niagara, we just wanted to make the most of the time we have in New England.

2) I realise that we are probably going to be a bit early for the Fall (which was the original reason we were going!) but if there is any place that can be reached in a day by car, where it would be possible to view the Fall, that would be great!

Thanks in advance for the help.
