I will be traveling to Massachusetts from October 11 to 17. I’m going to be visiting Marblehead, Rockport, Whale Watching in Gloucester, Hammond Castle, Salem for a day, a tour in Boston/Concord/Lexington, Plymouth, day in Nantucket, Hot Air Ballooning in New Hampshire, driving through New Hampshire, and spending a night in Vermont. Trying to decide what to see my last day there and what are must sees before I leave. I was thinking of taking a scenic drive from Vermont through the Berkshires, Central Massachusetts (maybe Springfield and Worcester) and then back to Boston before my flight at 8:00 p.m. Any more suggestions?
