- I think my wife's planning a New England trip to look at the fall foliage. I want the whole nine yards- covered wooden bridges, etc. So...Maine? New Hampshire? Vermont? My New England geography is a little weak.

You really can't go wrong anywhere in New England for fall foliage. You don't even have to go insanely far north. Massachusettes will do. Even upstate NY. People always leave out NY because the entire state is colored by NY City, but upstate NY is fantastic, and beautiful. You could always check out the roughly 6 million protected acres in the Adirondaks, stop by Lake George.

But if you want the foliage and a little nightlife, stick with around the Boston area.
