on this subject - we are planning to do a twin city break for eight days in September - 4 days New York & 3 or 4 in Boston. But it seems a shame to do Boston without getting out into the New England countryside a bit. Is there somewhere day-trippable by car from Boston that we could go to which would really give us a tsaste of new England? Or would the whole thing be too much to cram into 8 days?

Route one takes you up the coast through some lovely towns.You have to travel up the I 95 to escape the sprawl of Boston first,but well worth it.Or go up into Vermount,which we did in a day,stopping off at the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory!
