Travel to Boston after a day or two enjoying the peace and tranquility of Truro, Cape Cod. Then jump on a ferry from province town and enjoy the landscape and rugged coastline of Massachusetts - watch out for the whales out at sea...

You'll be speechless as you enter the glorious Boston Harbour - watching the fantastic skyscrapers get bigger and bigger on the horizon! It's a must!

Go North!

Posted by NonNative 4 October 2007

Head north into northern New Hampshire or Maine.

Get a car and drive up I93, keep going up towards Franconia Notch or deviate and head for the 'Lakes'.

Titlon and Conway have shopping outlets (NH has no sales tax) and there is the Conway Scenic Railroad which will provide you with a steam rail trip through the autumal colours.

Alternatively, head up I 95, stopping for lunch in Portsmouth NH, and up into Maine. Head north to the mountains.

Both are beautiful, inexpensive (especially with the current exchange rate) and away from the usual UK tourist spots.

While away an afternoon on pretty Newbury Street for chic Boston shopping - you'll find everything from Chanel and Marc Jacobs to Urban Outfitters. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops to break your journey.
