I'd like to spend more time in Burlington -- there's shopping and arts stuff there. The Quechee/Woodstock area is quite touristy this time of year because of the foliage, but there are a lot of good places to hike. Sadly, I don't go there as often as I'd like, either.
I do second someone's recommendation for the Cape as it can be very nice and not so crowded and kitchy in the fall. I like Falmouth, although the good parks are further on.
One swallow alone can barely carry a large worm -- a coconut is right out!
Any recommendations on where or what's good this time of year on the Cape? I might be heading there for a short two-day (during the week) trip this week or next, and we have no plan whatsoever.
We stayed in Falmouth, in an inn that I can't find anymore (this was in 1996). Definitely call ahead, or find a B&B and ask their advice. I'm sure a Chamber of Commerce could be helpful too. Sorry I can't be more specific!
1. I'm crushed, crushed I tells you, that Boston's only second choice. ;-P New York is tricky, just far enough that driving/bus takes up far too much time in transit, but close enough that flying isn't that much quicker, once all the airport rigamarole is factored in.
2. aka huitlacoche, which I just saw for the first time last Tuesday at the farmer's market. I still think it would've been better marketing to label it "huitlacoche/corn truffle" or "huitlacoche/corn mushroom" rather than "huitlacoche/corn smut".
An overnight in New England, this time of year? I'd go camping up on the North Shore, or Vermont, or Maine or New Hampster. But preferably somewhere closer to the ocean than VT is :)

Zero, unless they managed to put it on a rope and carry it between them.

That posits multiple swallows.

Date: 2005-09-19 01:07 pm (UTC)1. Probably NYC. Second choice... Boston. Longer trips would probably be across the pond.
2. corn smut?
3. Duh. 157 yds/sec

I hadn't thought of camping, probably b/c I don't have any gear, other than a stuff-sack-free sleeping bag. Hmmm...
