I will be in Southern Vermont (Windham area) for the 4th of July weekend. Will anyone else be visiting or around?

I remember traveling to here from Albany and playing pinball for an entire weekend when I was a freshman. I heard it's gone now. Anyone know what's in it's place now? It was a fun place to hang? Is it still a fun place? Do they still have pinball?

Tyia!

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.

Is there a way to get from the WAB Amtrak station to the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory without a car? Would it be possible to walk or take a cab?

Thanks!

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!

Hi there,

I hope to take in a city break to Boston also. Can anyone recommend apartment type accom with 2 bedrooms, close to slopes. Is there a ski guide facility and if so charge? Any must "Sees" or "Doos". How would I get to/from Boston. If anyone has any other helpful tips, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks David

Hi
We are planning a road trip starting Toronto to Ottawa to Montreal to Boston to Niagra Falls then flight back to England.
21 days in all. Could anyone give advice on best route from Montreal to Boston to include all must see must do places. Want the best experience of New England as possible. We are a couple with no kids on this vacation, so no retrictions.
Hope to visit late July, early August

Many thanks

I'm planning to go to Woodstock next year for the foliage season. I know I'll have to book a hotel in advance, but how long in advance would you say? Are we talking one month here? Two? Six?

Will be traveling form Albany NY to Andover VT on route 7a. Can anyone tell me if this is a good route for scenery. Also would like to stop at an apple orchard in Shaftsbury. Any info on this?
Thanks, Mike

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.

Never been to Burlington
first time vistor, what is there to do there?

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.

My wife and I plan 3 days in Vermont in mid-August. Should we plan on one Inn somewhere mid state and do day trips North and South or 3 Inns, one night each?

Also any moderately priced inns recommended?

Thanks

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?

My kids are vacationing with their dad and rented a cabin in Lake Carmi Vermont. Any suggestion on things to do other then the water sking and tubing. Anyhting would be appreciated thanks.

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

Does anyone know anything about this bed & breakfast?
Thanks

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.

Hey! I am going to be spending a week in Vermont, staying in Smugglers Notch in September this year. We are all totally new visitors to Vermont, and are trying to find out what different things there are to do in this area.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has been to Smugglers Notch, or are residents in the area, who could suggest some activities?

Thank you

Hi everyone!
I will be taking a trip to Vermont in mid February from NYC. I really have no knowledge about Vermont at all. I'm looking to have a nice romantic getaway with my to-be husband. I also want to do some snowboarding. Can anyone shed some light on me?
Which is the best place to visit? What activities are recommended?

Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know the 2007 opening date (approximate) for K-1 gondola lower stage?

My cousin and her new husband will be spending their honeymoon skiing in Vermont in February and I would like to find out if there is something special I can organise for them to do whilst they are there. (we have booked them a helicopter sightseeing trip whilst in New York to give you an idea of the sort of thing I am talking about)

Does anyone know of anything?

Thanks

Planning a 10 day trip to New England in Sept 07:

Days 1-3 Boston
Days 4-5 Newport or Providence?? (will base ourselves in one but visit both)
Days 6-9 ???
Days 10-11 Burlington or Stowe (which is best?)

Any recommendations for days 6-9? We will have our own transport and would like to base ourselves at two further locations en route for two nights each. Proximity to civilisation would be good (Bennington, Manchester, Middlebury etc??) as well as plenty of half day hikes.

hi i am heading to montreal from burlington, vt to meet someone
is there anywhere special half way or along the way that you would suggest would be a nice place to hang out for a couple of hours- have coffee, talk and be social?
