ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	Boston would be a dream come true for me! And, if we were smart we'd shoot for October, a better travel month and maybe even some nice New England foliage about mid month. Also, we could stay in the outskirts of Boston but close enough to travel in and out. I'm a bit partial but we could have an awesome time in this the New England states. Why do we have to hang out out directly in large cities? _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	In fact, wayyyyy down the ride, after we've traveled here and there in the U.S. for our weekends, I'd suggest a nice New Hampshire Inn at peak foliage near the mountains. There's still ample shopping spots and things to do....it could be a wonderful weekend. Louisa has often mentioned North Conway as she and her hubby visit there a lot. SO have we. You have it all...inns, loads of shopping, mountains and so many fun spots....everything all in one! http://www.northconwaynh.com/ http://www.mtwashingtonvalley.org/index.cfm _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	What happened to Maryland/Virginia. Boy Dotsie I wouldn't want this job, geesh, everyone has her own ideas of when and where!!!! Suggestion: Maybe 'you' need to pick several destinations and dates etc. to pick from, then give each one 'WHO IS COMING' a vote. They will vote for one or the other place and month. Voting good for say 6 months from the time we begin...Whatever time and place gets the most votes wins, and hopefully it will work for the majority of us. Otherwise you're going to go bonkers...

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Okay, I've gotten soem feedback. I'm going to make a decision with Georgia by the end of this month. We'll pick a time and place and a date and put it out there. The only thing about renting one place is what if more people come than can stay there? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	I think it might help also to look consider the time of year and what it cost to travel at that time and to each place. For instance, flying is different at different times. Staying outside of Boston would be cheaper, but not sure where. The outskirts aren't cheap either and it isn't that easy to get in and out. Jane is right about New England. NH is great in October but you have to plan that ahead because it's foliage season. There's also Ogunquit and Kennebunkport. I have enough trouble right now trying to figure out where I'm going to have my next writers group meeting, never mind something this large scale. _________________________ Author - Publisher www.carouselkisses.blogspot.com www.therehalworld.blogspot.com www.luvs2write.com

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	I would want someplace that's easy to fly into...and easy to get to from the airport (preferably a direct hotel shuttle for someone who doesn't know the area and might be flying in at night). NH sounds beautiful, but, for example, how do you get from the nearest airport (and where is the nearest airport?) to North Conway? It would be an added expense to have to take a commercial bus, and possible inconvenience in terms of ensuring connection times and places. As long as I can fly into a place and not have to worry about too many difficult connections to get to the final destination, I'll be happy going just about anywhere...especially knowing that there are friendly faces waiting at the end of the line! _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	that could be a problem, Eagle. There is an airport in Manchester, NH, but it's not that near North Conway and I don't know if flights from Canada fly into that airport. Your best bet is Logan in Boston. there's a hotel there that is so gorgeous, but costs a fortune. It overlooks Boston Harbor. _________________________ Author - Publisher www.carouselkisses.blogspot.com www.therehalworld.blogspot.com www.luvs2write.com

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	I can get a direct flight from Ottawa to most major cities - including Baltimore, Boston, Washington...not sure about Manchester. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be concerned about transfers/connections from the airport to the hotel/gathering place. It's just another consideration when making the decision on where to meet. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	I probably wouldn't be going because I won't travel alone anyway. Boston, I wouldn't have to. That is why I considered it. Won't go there alone either. [Lavender] would have to bring me in. but there are plenty of things to do. _________________________ Author - Publisher www.carouselkisses.blogspot.com www.therehalworld.blogspot.com www.luvs2write.com
