(Continued from the Home Page.) Maybe you’d like to visit New England this weekend for a quick getaway, or maybe next week for a well-deserved vacation, or perhaps you’d like to ski on Christmas. It matters not how long you stay. What matters is why you'd like to come to New England and what you'd like to do. Be it a weekend, a family excursion or a business trip, the region has anything and everything you could want or need for a memorable slice of time. In short, New England has more than something for everyone. Trying to see just the historic sites made famous for their role in the Revolution would take weeks if not months. To explore even an eighth of the antique shops here would take a year. And visits to the region's enthralling museums would take an eternity. THE SIX NEW ENGLAND STATES The six states comprising New England, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont all have things in common but unique histories. For instance, few people know that before it joined the Union, Vermont became an independent republic after the Revolution, a country of its own. The state had even printed its own money. Spring in New England gives one an unforgettable sense of Mother Nature restoring herself as she mixes the budding flora's harmony of fragrances and of rebirth and renewal. The scents from the first cutting, musty and sweet, foretell of the arrival of summer; days warm and soft, of swimming, hiking, biking or reading in a cozy, swaying hammock. Fall's spectacular colors tell us that Nature is painting from a palette of rich hues, and the chill air warns of the winter's snows to come. Choosing where to go, where to stay, where to eat, what to see and do isn’t easy. That’s why we built NewEnglandTimes.Com. and that’s why we made this your site. Finding What You Need If you want to escape the daily drudgery but continue your active nightlife, we have plenty of it here. If fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking, skiing, mountain climbing, canoeing, rock climbing and myriad other sporting challenges are what you seek, every New England state can accommodate you. Or if peace and tranquility are what you long for, we can recommend inns where nighttime stirrings of wildlife and a hoot or two from an owl are the only things to break the near deafening silence. The beauty of New England is its diversity of people, traditions, ways of life, and flora and fauna. That's why we write articles about all of those in addition to travel and tourism pieces. We even have a Real Estate section where you can find a vacation house to rent or one to buy and become a New Englander yourself. While we may not know what brings you to the region now, we do know that once you've been here you'll be back again to add fantastic new memories and photographs to those you collected on your first and other visit or visits. And if you're short on photographs, we'll soon be selling breathtaking photos in our Country Store. PLANNING With that in mind, NewEnglandTimes.Com has been designed for you to help you plan out where to go from the perspective of what state(s) to visit, which regions in those state(s) you'd like to see and where to stay once you get here. While that is our primary purpose, we also produce a great deal of content. That's because, as mentioned, NewEnglandTimes.Com is really an online magazine or Ezine. We have lots of articles in the Ezine section. We will be adding many, many more in the months to come. If you have suggestions or questions about what you'd like to see, please send us an email at jhyde@newenglandtimes.com. We offer listings of places to stay, eat, do and see things, but do it in a way that we hope takes as much of the stress out of the planning as possible. We are proud to be partnering with New-England-Vacations-Guide.com, where you will find an amazing assortment of well-written articles about the many wonderful things one can see and do here New England.
Obviously, you need to know where you're headed, why you want to go there, how you'll get there and where you'll stay. Only you know why you want to come here, so let's launch the planning about where to go with the states.
Next, you need to find a place to stay. There are three types of lodging pages for you on NewEnglandTimes.Com.
Click below on the state or states of your choice so you can see what other travelers have to say about hotels in those states. 3. SEE AND DO
By this point you pretty well know what you want to do, but we have What To See and What To Do sections that are undergoing some fattening up with more for site seers and folks drawn to the region for its activities. Our partner site, new-england-vacations-guide.com is where you’ll find superb articles about all kinds of things to do and see, tours to take and how to explore on your own. We are proud of our Museum Page and there will be tremendous expansion on that page. Our Partner Site--More To See and Do In the beginning, the site also provided information about things to see and do, however, keeping up with the travel, history and real estate sections alone was a daunting task. In 2007, he found a solution to the challenge when he was approached by another New England site interested in a link exchange. That site, new-england-vacations-guide.com provides information about New England vacation planning, and was designed and written written by Cliff Calderwood of Upton, Massachusetts. The site is a treasure trove of things to do and see, so Jim, Cliff and their wives, Terry and Erika, merged and started New England Times Publishing, LLC. It was decided that the two sites compliment each other perfectly but should remain separate. Both sites are undergoing redesigns to have a somewhat common look and feel, and link to each other extensively to help you to better plan your New England getaway or vacation. Together, they provide you with all you could possibly need to decide on the perfect getaway or vacation. 4. MAKE YOUR RESERVATION
