A few years ago, I made my first trip to Boston for a sight-seeing tour of the New England states that I had planned. I went in October when the leaves were falling, and if I could recommend any time of year to travel to New England, it would be during the fall. I started out my tour by traveling around the city of Boston itself and seeing all of the historic sites as well as a few fun places, like the bar where the show “Cheers†was shot and Fenway Park. What I loved the most about Boston was that it is definitely a modern city, but it very much has an historical feel to it at the same time. When I decided to travel to New England, I had no idea how close everything would be. I'm from Texas, and I expected to have to drive hundreds of miles to get from one state to the next, and it really was not like that at all. I was able to see a lot of each state on my seven-day tour, devoting one day to Boston, one to the rest of Massachusetts and the rest to the other New England states. I went down to Rhode Island after I spent my first two days in Massachusetts and traveled around the smallest state in the union. I went and saw Providence, then went to the the Museum of Work and Culture in Woonsocket. I next visited Connecticut, going to see the Stratford Point lighthouse and then to see Fort Nathan Hale. When I first decided to travel to New England, I knew that I would rent a car because I wanted to take in the scenic beauty, and there certainly was plenty of that. After Connecticut, I went up through Massachusetts and into Vermont, where I made it a special point to go and see the state house in Montpelier with its golden dome. I also sampled some of the local maple syrup before I headed East to New Hampshire. New Hampshire was a must for me when I chose to travel to New England, because I was accepted to Dartmouth University but never actually went. I just had to see the campus once in my lifetime, and it was everything I imagined it to be. My final stop was Maine, where I raided some of the local fishing villages for seafood and made a trip up to Acadia National Park, which has some of the most beautiful scenic views I have ever seen in my life. I traveled back to Boston and drove to Logan Airport on the final day of my trip. To travel to New England is really to see one of the most breathtaking and historical regions of our country. I would definitely recommend visiting in the fall.
