Today is pretty much the last day of my trip as tomorrow is just packing and rental car returning and flying. It was spent with a very short time at the Ben and Jerry's Factory in Waterbury, Vermont, followed by what was supposed to be an 8-hour drive, but turned into ten and a half. Ben and Jerry’s was very cute. I got some little presents for my nieces and nephew, and I did the $3 factory tour which was quite interesting. That location makes 250,000 pi...

Not too much to report here except that I am safe and sound in an amazing hostel in Warren, Vermont. Just like my previous Hostel, there are not too many other guests (there is only one other than me) therefore, I get my own room again. (in your face expensive hotel rooms!!!) Apparently summer is their off season, people mostly come here to ski. Lucky me. The owners also cooked this amazing dinner - I had a pesto grilled cheese and a salad with vi****rette dress...

Today was spent wandering around the White Moutnain area of New Hampshire. I arrived at my hostel last night. I only paid 24 bucks, and had a room all to myself. And even better, I met a girl - Annika who was a lone traveler like myself, however she was from Germany. She accompanied me on our little mini adventures today, as did a lady from New Zealand, she was staying at working at the hostel. So, we decided to take a tour van up Mt. Washington - the highest p...

So after I left Rhode Island, I was not too worried about my drive. It was gonna be along one, but I figured that arriving at 10:30pm was not gonna be too late. Little did I know that this drive was about 80% back country roads, it was pitch black, and it took FOREVER!! So, have you ever watched one of those classic scenes in a scary movie where some unfortunate soul is driving down some back country road, no streetlights, curvy roads, no cars or people are to b...

So, hitting up Rhode Island for a couple of hours today put me at 46 states!! I parked near the tourist info center and just started walking around. I found some little cruises that take you around the harbor. You could do a sail boat or a yacht or a ferry. I opted for the yacht because it was so super hot and the yacht had the option to stay inside or be outside. Rhode Island is quite small, but very pretty. I shopped around for a little bit, ate lunch at Pane...
