2003 New England Trip...

We left work a little early and drove down to the nearest MARTA station. It was a first MARTA ride for both of us. I can’t complain, it was cleaner than I figured it would be and it was better than driving in traffic i suppose. It did seem awfully slow but I’m sure it was still quicker than driving. The flight was supposed to depart at 20:15. I think we finally got off the ground around 21:20, which made me a little nervous since we had a connecting flight in Cincinnati 22:30. We made it alright though and found Cincinnati has a very strange airport. We got into Buffalo on time and Jenny and Mike were there to pick us up a couple of minutes after we got to the baggage claim area. It was great to see my Jenny! We stayed the night with them.

So our adventure begins… We went to the airport around lunch to get our car and headed out from there. We drove a loop up into the Adirondacks in hope of seeing some foliage, but, alas, there was none. Or at least not much. We made a few stops and even asked around about when the peak foliage time was and we were informed that we were there at the right time, it was the leaves that were running late. So it goes. Once we crossed into Vermont, it started getting dark so we stopped for the night, lest we should miss any great Vermont foliage.

We woke up to a very rainy day. We did get to see the lake that we were staying on last night and it was very large and pretty in the rain. We drove down through Vermont, turned east in Hartford, Connecticut, through Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We had planned on staying the night in Boston, but there was severe traffic problems so we took the by-pass around it and headed into Maine. We stopped in the vicinity of Cape Neddick. We stayed at the Lighthouse Inn which was near Nubble Lighthouse. We drove by the lighthouse but it was too dark to see anything but the red beacon.
