There will be a tour of New England which you are free to join and/or leave at any time. The first part is a somewhat organized 3 day trip through
Massachusetts, southern Vermont to the coast of Maine. It would be impractical (or at least aggravating) to try to keep everybody together during a day on the often crowded New England roads so we will be providing: 1. nightly rendezvous points (listed below) 2. daily maps which show the routes and points of interest between the rendezvous points. If you would like to join us, you need to let us know and make your motel reservations.
Paula and I will be staying at the following motels and each has a nice common area that we can use for socializing. I doubt that any of them are the least expensive in their area so you may want to make other arrangements.
Sunday night (28th) Black Swan Inn (Best Western) in Lee, Mass. $105 - $160 (800)876-7926
Monday night (29th) The Shire Motel in Woodstock, Vermont $88 - $145
(802)457-2211 www.shiremotel.com
Tuesday night (30th) Tugboat Inn in Boothbay Harbor, Maine $135 - $185
(800)248-2628 www.tugboatinn.com
The officially sanctioned part of the trip will end on the morning of the 31st. A smaller group of us will stay another night at the Tugboat and then finish out the week wandering down the coast. This part is not yet decided but let us know if you are interested.
