"Your Website Helped me Plan
the Perfect New England Vacation"

"Thanks Cliff! There was so many options for me to take, and I was becoming quickly confused as to which were the best choices for me. Your website (and personal advice) has helped me plan the perfect New England vacation. I appreciate the time and effort you have put in to help."
J. Stockwell - Australia


"I Was Feeling So Overwhelmed!
And then... there Was Your Site"

“I’d been doing a lot of reading about the 6 states for a New England vacation. I was so overwhelmed! And then one day, lo and behold, there was your site – Godsend!  After reading your articles, I've decided to include only 3 New England states in our tour. One of the most wonderful parts of living is knowing that they’re knowledgeable people like you who take their time to help out people like me. Thank you.”
Malu L. - Philadelphia
