Now in its second edition, Day Trips New England is my second travel guide book- and it represents all I know about the region! Planning a day trip, weekend getaway or a longer adventure? These are my suggestions for the region's off-the-beaten path gems like the Parker River Wildlife Refuge in Ipswich, Massachusetts and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in Hartford as well as can't miss activities like schooner cruises in Camden, Maine and the Marlboro Music Festival in Southern Vermont. I also give my recommendations for where to stay, eat and shop along the way. Each of the 50 pre-planned itineraries includes driving directions and a map too! Organized by state, this is a hub and spoke approach to travel. Choose one of the main New England cities as your base- for example- Portland or Providence, and drive to another part of the region for your day and night trips.
