Anyone in New England interested in a 3 day tour from CT into NH and back?

I already have a draft agenda / venue selection done.

Late spring / early summer 2016. About 650 mile round trip with 2 overnight stays.

Still debating a Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon agenda.

Hit me up!

you need to include some VT in this trip, i know where the good roads are.

that sounds awesome. my absolutely favorite ever sushi place is in portsmouth - and the kancamagus is awesome, and beautiful. my dad and step-mom live about 15min from portsmouth, so i could work in a visit there as well, and my son would probably love to come along. perhaps my dad will join with his RS4. he'd probably like that.

Thanks. The Chicken Scarpiello I had at dinner fueled the agenda. Coffee after dinner didn't hurt either.

I am convinced that Portsmouth is the only place on earth where you can't get a bad meal. Been going there since 95 when my first job out of the .mil was HQ'd up there (except for the mandatory court appearance there in 1990 for some extra legal speeds in Greenland). Rarely have I gone somewhere for work to return as a tourist. My g/f and I are heading up next month.

That was the anchor for the trip, every other venue was picked afterwards.

Niiiiiice!

very cool. i've always liked portsmouth, great downtown, not too big... and yes, the food has been excellent for me as well. and it's on the ocean. how can you go wrong?

my son loves the sushi place there, too. can't remember the name of it. it's right downtown. you should check it out - their spicy scallop rolls are the best.

Sounds like a great drive. I tried to do something like I mini reunion with a nice drive through the Tennessee back hills a few years ago but, didn't get enough participation.

Good luck, hope it works out.
