New England more than delivers on the pledge, "Something for everyone." Truly, there is so much for everybody it's nigh impossible to cover it all, but we are always adding new material so we can give you as many choices to plan the very best New England getaway and New England vacations as possible.

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 to take away as lifetime memories of time well spent in a great region. Be it a weekend, a family excursion or a business trip, New England has anything and everything you could want or need for a memorable slice of time away from home.

In short, New England offers some much variety in terms of things to do and see and where to stay, it's impossible to cover it all, but we do out best. 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 states comprising New England, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont all have things in common as well as having 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.

THE STEPS FOR PLANNING YOUR NEW ENGLAND GETAWAY

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.

1. CHOOSE A STATE OR STATES: CONNECTICUT, MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS, NEW HAMPSHIRE, RHODE ISLAND or VERMONT.

Let’s start by choosing a state or states that offer you the most of what you're seeking. For instance, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, to some degree New Hampshire and Rhode Island have natural boundaries, beaches lapped by Long Island Sound or the Atlantic Ocean. Vermont, on the other hand, has plenty of lakes but is landlocked. Each state has a State Home Page and a State Regions Home Page. The State Home Page tells you about the state in general, some of its history and some of the inns in that state. The State Regions pages are broken down by the regions set by each state’s Chamber of Commerce. Just click on a state and it will take you to the appropriate region and tell you what’s available to see and do there.

2. LODGING
