New England - Fall 2003
Updated: 11/30/08
Our trip to
the New England states was a combination of a two-week
organized RV tour and traveling on our own. We took a week getting to Mystic, Ct
to meet up with the tour group and
a week and a half getting home from Bar Harbor, ME where the tour ended. This was
our first organized RV tour. The group consisted of 14 RVs and 27 people. The
small size was very nice.
The wagonmasters were great as were the other members of the group.
We would have spent more time at some of the attractions if we were traveling alone - on touring days especially, the bus was on a time schedule. That was the only negative of being with a group. We knew that going in. However, we had a good time.

Our trip covered a total of over 3,500 miles in 30 days. The weather was very nice during most of the trip. The last week got a little too cold in the evenings.
We have organized this destination by state and then by attraction within the state. To make it easier, we will show everything in alphabetical order, not in the order we toured the areas.
We spent our free time exploring the areas around where we camped. We have many many photographs of sea shore, water and rocks. We will not show you all of them. But, some things we saw will be shared with you.
