Looks pretty good to me, John. Never been to that part of the US but there seems to be plenty to see and do.
Have fun and take some pics.
I'm off shortly too. :thumbup:

It is a beautiful part of the country. Too bad you aren't coming a little further south... I am on the border of NY/NJ

John you're welcome to stop in! However I'm in southeasterrn Vermont. Like as far southern as you can get without being in Massachusetts, and as far eastern without being in New Hampshire!
If that suits your itinerary let me know -- but Northern Vermont is a long way off!
I assume you will get to Burlington in N.VT which has become almost a city since I lived there in the late 70's and 80's. Used to be a nice little town perched on a big beautiful lake -- still nice, but different.
Maybe you will go to Shelburne, nearby, and the Shelburne Museum -- a giant sprawling collection of stuff -- not well organised or described, and the steamship Tconderoga -- landlocked but accessible.
A much finer museum, to me, and far better organised (you guys have me dropping my z's and substituting s's, now) is the Blue Mountain Lake Museum in Blue Mountain Lake near Lake Placid. I love that museum. I could spend real time there. Check all of these out on their websites.
If you are headed north to south in VT and get a chance, stop in at the American Precision Museum on I-91 between exits 8 and 9 -- that one probably holds the most interest for us workshed engineers. I go there every year in the Fall when there is a model engineering show held nearby at the high school.
have to go..... will continue....

well Mr BC, there might be "attractions" (http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,8019.0.html) at Sainsburys now - how many wallets are you taking?
