We hope to have a group outing at the nearby Old North Bridge, a short walk away. We may also take in The Old Manse.
There will not be an extra room charge to bring a friend. Registration will include a room at the inn for the nights of September 20, 21, and 22. Attendees wishing to come early or stay late at the Inn will be able to get the conference rate of approximately $169 a night. Stay tuned for more details on how and exactly how much.
Directions to Colonial Inn. Boston's Logan airport is the recommended airport. Manchester, NH's MHT is an option as well. Contact the local chair if you plan on coming in that way; she'll provide some travel recommendations. Driving to and from Logan can be very variable since the highways are high traffic routes; particularly during rush hours (outbound in the evening; inbound in the morning). If you are going to drive at those times, allow a bit of extra time (at least 15 minutes).
Colonial Inn's Warm Indian Pudding was featured on the holiday episode of "The Best Thing I Ever Ate". We hope to have it on the workshop menu. We hear from friends that their Pot Roast is pretty amazing as well.
Soon we will have more information here on the hotel, getting to Concord, MA, and activities in the area.
