Since this website was published these are the most recent road trips.
An early check out from Arlo Soho and Ubers’ to Penn Station was the order of the day. The ornate and rather grand building that everyone knows as Penn Station is a facade as the station is all below ground. Serving 650,000 commuter and Amtrak travellers daily it is the busiest transit hub in the Western Hemisphere. Located in Midtown Manhattan near the Empire State … Continue reading New York to Boston Amtrak – Brand USA
There was a small group of 7 soon to be 8 travel professionals on a visit to both New York and Boston. First was New York on August 19 and 20. In New York accommodation was at the quirky boutique hotel Arlo Hotel Soho. Located right by the Holland Tunnel entrance and nearby Canal Street Metro stop. Transfers were mainly by Uber. I have never been in … Continue reading New York-Brand USA Visit
Sometimes working in travel has it’s perks and I am fortunate to be going a funded visit to New York and Boston at the invitation of Brand USA and Norwegian Airlines. It is a small group of 6 tour operators and travel agents from all over the UK and Ireland. So I am super excited that I am embarking on a whirlwind 4 night whistle stop tour … Continue reading Brand USA – Norwegian Airlines: New York and Boston 19 Aug – 23 Aug 19
Coincidently George H Bush had just been transferred from the Bush family home for medical treatment in Maine Kennebunkport a couple of days before my visit. It helped that the day was gloriously sunny. I was on route between Freeport, ME and Merrimack, NH and made a snap decision to deviate from the route to mad a short stop in Kennebunkport, ME. I am so glad … Continue reading New England – Kennebunkport ME
If you have heard of L.L Bean then you might know that they started in Freeport Maine. I think it should be renamed Beantown. This company dominate the whole town. There is an L.L Bean campus comprising of three different stores that are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I thought it was weird when I arrived the following morning at 08.30 … Continue reading New England 27 May – Freeport, ME
At over 6,200 ft Mount Washington is the highest peak in the White Mountains. Apparently where it is and with it’s height in the North East almost all weather patterns cross over it causing sudden changes in the weather. Mark Twain is quoted saying ‘if you don’t like the weather in New England now, then wait a few minutes!’ Not a truer word said. I … Continue reading New England 26 May – Mount Washington
As I am so organised I set the GPS (Sat Nav) with favourites and set it for Moose thinking that it was taking me to the Spruce Moose Bed & Breakfast in North Conway. I travelled through stunning forests and lakes and had about 30 miles to go when I came across Settlers Green Outlet Village which I knew was in North Conway. I stopped … Continue reading New England 25 May – North Conway, NH
Arrived bang on schedule at Boston Logan Airport. The views over the bay were amazing. I was in my car within an hour. It is the Memorial Day get away and the traffic was awful. Actually the roads are in need of some TLC as well, maybe it is the harsh winters that cause all the bumps. I am in Danvers which is 17 miles … Continue reading New England 24 May
Virgin Atlantic wouldn’t let me check in online which was rather puzzling. I had to see a Virgin representative at the airport, was I going to be upgraded as a surprise thank you for being such a loyal subject over the years? No I had been selected for extra security checks. As I am currently through airport security in the shopping extravaganza that is in … Continue reading New England 24 May – 31 May 2018
