I probably won;t be able to go any trip before June, but I know a lot about the
region, New York, Canada, etc., and may be able to help come up with something
interesting.
Keep in mind that anything beyond about three hours from Boston should be done
on an over night basis since otherwise you'll spend most of the day on the road.
Three hours to the southwest is roughly the Connecticut-New York border. Due
west gets you to Albany, northwest gets you to Burlington, Vermont, due north
just about to Canada (at a stretch of the border where there isn't much), and
northeast roughly to Bar Harbor, Maine. For the next coupld of months, there
are some real weather differences depending on whether you head north/west or so
south.
New York is VERY expensive, most everything to the north is relatively cheap.
Cape Cod tends to be dead this time of year, but Nantucket (which should be
done on an overnight basis) can be interesting when there aren't lots of t
tourists. The way it is usually done is you leave the car at Woods Hole, take
the ferry over, and then rent bicycles. There is a scout camp called Camp
Richard in the middle of the island that may allow the chapter to spend the
night at a very reasonable price.
If any of this sounds good, let me know and I'll see what else I can offer.
YiTravel,
