Shame.


Huh?

Shame that "I wouldn't think that there would be enough around for a
week of day trips"


I have but I'll be driving from NYC so don't wan't to go too far.
Is it feasible to drive from NYC to Maine by car with a family?
Wherever we drive, we'll have to return by car.


It could be done in a fairly long day each way. It would be about 500
miles.

Maybe spread it over a couple of days then.


Have you got any recommendations in particular for Maine?


We like the Bar Harbor area but the drive up is beautiful. Our
daughter liked it even when she small.


Thanks - I'll check it out.



Any areas good for a swim? I guess the water's gonna be cold though.

There are a number of beaches in CT along Long Island Sound which can
be fairly warm in the summer. It's a relatively small body of water so
it will warm up more than the Atlantic.

OK. Do 'normal' people swim in these conditions or just hardcore
nutters?


In CT? Water temps should be in the 70's during the summer.
In Maine, you would have to be hardcore or Canadian. G


heh
