Betsy Wittemann
With only a weekend to spend, curious travelers in New England in search of stimulating, relaxing weekend getaways often lack the time and energy to plan them. Veteran travel writer Betsy Wittemann has done the work for them by creating this series of weekend getaways that go beyond the usual recommendations of things to see and places to stay and eat. Each chapter in this new guide presents a thoughtfully planned itinerary organized around a theme; there's sure to be a weekend destination here that appeals to travelers of all tastes.
Bibliophiles will enjoy Wittmann's book-themed weekend in Boston and Cambridge, which recommends legendary bookstores, and literary walking tours. Antique lovers will want to explore the Brimfield/Sturbridge, Massachusetts area, where an enormous triannual antiques fair becomes the focus of an antiquer's dream weekend. Island idylls include a trip to remote Monhegan Island, Maine, where visitors can stroll craggy shores and stay in intimate guesthouses. Each chapter provides crucial details on how to get there, when to go, and appropriate recommendations for dining and lodging.
