Dear Blog Readers who must wait, Blame no connection or blame the writer, but I have missed a few days. From Freeport, MI Where we weathered our 2nd BIG storm...torrents of rain, wind, and curl up with a good book weather (no fireplace). Next day...bright and sunny! Our weather has really been incredibly delightful for autumn in New England. Found a cute sounding place in New Hampshire, Henniker so we stayed there, walked to church and tried to use our cell phone. The big event that night was a preHalloween Scary Hay ride. Members of a snowmobile club get together, camp, and REALLY decorate their campsites with special effects. Then, kids & adults from the area come to get scared. It was really creepy and dark. It reminded us of Karol Hall's party. Onto Massachusetts. Thank ... read more

It was a long flight but an absolutely beautiful landing over the fall colors and quaint houses of New Hampshire.

This is a great hotel but somehow I feel like I m not even in Boston. It's too new and too ... read more

October 4 - 6, 2007 This was my first time ever going to the New England area and I absolutely adored it. I flew into Logan International at 5pm on the 4th of October. Landing I could see hundreds - probably thousands - of sailboats and all of these old 3 or 4-story homes that you see on TV and look haunted. It was exactly how I pictured New England looking. I stayed at the Hyatt Harborside Hotel which is across the harbor from downtown Boston. The view from my room was amazing! I went downstairs and had dinner at the hotel restaurant and the view from my seat was the sun setting over Boston. As the lights came on I grabbed my camera and took some pictures of the city all lit up. Breathtaking! I ... read more
