Hello - I am driving from Boston to Hanover, NH. Does anyone have a town and or hotel or inn they would recommend along the way for a one night stay? How about a restaurant in this same place? Many thanks!
I%26#39;m sorry but you on the wrong forum. Maybe try Boston MA
We are visiting GF for a weekend to visit family and want to stay in a hotel. What is a nice hotel (price does not matter) that has a nice pool and great ammenities?
C%26#39;mon Inn, is a great place to stay. Very nice, clean, great location. Nice pool/hot tubs, very good price. You will love it!
Are there any hotels/motels in Bismarck that are park and fly? If so. please advise me of the names. Thanks.
Several would be. We have stayed at Expressway Inn and found their dervice excellent. Any of the chain motels would also offer that service.
If you would consider having a ';crane'; in your establishment, I would come there and eat pizzza everyday! I like the little three eyed alien that you can get out of the machine! As long as Buzz does not fall into the machine everything will go O.K. dokay , How much does it cost me to get an alien? I am pretty skilled with my hands, so they say so I bet I can get the prize in the first try!
Huh?
I applaud your attempt to bring some life to this forum!
My husband and I are planning a trip to New England next spring or summer and have never been. We need suggestions on where to go. We%26#39;d like a ';home base'; and be able to take day trips with 1 or 2 overnight stays. Where would be a good place to park our suitcases and travel out from there and still get in as much of the area as possible? Another thought we had was to just go up to Maine and spend our week there. All suggestions will be most helpful.
How about Bar Harbor, Maine...

You can enjoy Acadia National Park, Maine; take the CAT to Nova Scotia; and then take various day trips from there such as to Bangor Maine. http://www.bgrme.org/
...46 miles away...
There%26#39;s a whole selection of lodging to choose from from bed and breakfasts to hotels to private houses

Take a look at the above site to see what looks fun for you.
The CAT - transportation from Bar Harbor to Nova Scotia...
go over for day or a couple of nights....
Have fun planning!
You%26#39;re not going to get a lot of posts regarding New England on the North Dakota forum. Try Maine, Vermont, or New Hampshire instead. That said, Bar Harbor would definitely be a good stopping off point.
With seven days as your time budget, you%26#39;d be hard pressed to spend enough time in any one New England area to truly enjoy it. If it%26#39;s peace and relaxation you seek, then Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont offer it in abundance, although there%26#39;s much to do, see and eat in all three states: golf, swimming, site seeing, spectacular mountains and the famous culinary delight, lobster. Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island are wonderful if you enjoy swimming and ocean vistas. You could easily spend seven days in Boston alone with its early Americana historic sites and its wonderful aquarium. Rhode Island, especially Newport, offers much history, as well. I would recommend a stroll along Cliff Walk where you can see the magnificent mansions built by the likes of Doris Duke and the Vanderbilts. Connecticut offers Mystic Seaport, where you can go aboard a wonderfully preserved whaling ship and tour the associated museum, or head a bit upstate to Foxwoods where you can engage in games of chance. To help narrow down your choices, I%26#39;d recommend a visit to http://www.newenglandtimes.com to get in-depth information on each of the states. It%26#39;s an excellent site that should help you make the choices of greatest interest to you.
I visited North Dakota for the first time since I was a child, last Summer and enjoyed a number of places tremendously. I tend to enjoy driving through states and enjoying the scenic, historical and Americana aspects of those states. North Dakota had a lot to offer and I%26#39;m sure I only scratched the surface.
Minot - Great town with the enjoyable Scandinavian Heritage Park.
Rugby - Geographic center of North America...is it or isn%26#39;t it? Who cares...it%26#39;s a fun idea and the stone cairn is good for a picture.
Mandan - Fort Abraham Lincoln (Custer house) and On-A-Slant Village...both worth the time to enjoy.
New Salem - You%26#39;ve gotta see Salem Sue the giant cow!
Regent (and nearby) - The Enchanted Highway is magnificent...well worth a visit. Don%26#39;t forget to stop at the gift shop in Regent and turn on the moving sculpture.
Dickinson - Dakota Dinosaur Museum...another very worthwhile place to stop. Lots of incredible displays. Make sure that you engage the staff in conversation, because some of them were involved in finding things that are on display.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park - Beautiful...make sure you take the time to really enjoy it.
Bismarck - Space Aliens Grill and Bar - Okay...so the food is kind of so-so...it%26#39;s not that expensive and the kitsch factor makes the visit enjoyable.
Garrison - Quaint little town with the Wally Walleye statue at the end of the main street. Make sure you stop and get a malt at Ye Olde Malt Shoppe! It%26#39;s only about a block away.
Another thing that will stick with me a long time are the sunflower fields...lots and lots of color.
If you like taking road trips, North Dakota is a great state to visit. I hope to get back there someday!
Thanks sare, great info! Would any of those qualify as North Dakotas top tourist attraction?
Hey! Thank you so much for your input, my girls and I are driving down to Minot over Easter holidays and needed some to do things....I heard about some kind of amusement park there, is this true? If you have any info to this that would be great!
Minot-has a nice indoor water park at the Sleep Inn which is attached to Dakota Square Mall. There is a Comedy Club in The International Inn on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The zoo is nice also, but does have limited hours when cold outside. There are alot of Chinese restraunts if you like buffets. The downtown is a nice area to visit with some unique places to shop. There are a few mom and pop restraunts that are worth a visit. Oak Park is a nice park to go for a walk or take the kids to play.
Bismarck-has a lot more than Space Aliens(is a good place for the kids). There are a few nice places to eat and all are fairly inexpensive. The Bistro is nice more formal place. The Walrus is great italian. There is also a nice water park called Raging Rivers, but is outdoors. There is a nice zoo here also. There is a paddle boat in the summer that goes down the river.
North Dakota has lots of nice lakes small and large. There are beutiful open spaces.
Thank You so much for your input....I have actually booked a few nights at the Sleep Inn because of the waterpark and plan on checking out the zoo so thanxs again!
