The Ultimate New England Fall Ball
Lauren Falcon
Available for hire
A round trip 8 day route from Boston exploring New Hampshire, Vermont, & Maine. There are lots of stops and scenic sights to enjoy the natural beauty in early fall! This is a moderate paced itinerary which I would recommend spending
Leaf-peeping has become super popular and lots of the charming boutique B&Bs book out quickly because they are small. A few of the areas book out completely by mid-January. I would book no later than February.
There are also many foliage maps which will help you determine when is best to plan your trip. It is not an exact science as many things affect the exact timing of "peak" including rain fall, temperature, and more. This is my favorite map for New England: https://newengland.com/foliage/foliage/peak-fall-foliage-map/

Day 1: Fly into Boston Logan & pick up rental car
Grab your car & get the heck outta dodge! Depending on where you fall on the leaf-peeping schedule and when your flight arrives, I think you should grab a bite to eat, maybe stroll around Harvard sipping my favorite sparkling lavender iced americano, and then head to Salem. You can explore a bit more of Boston on the back-end (or front-end of your trip if you arrive a little early for the leaves).
The drive from Boston to Salem is ~31 mins but it's scenic so there may be some wishes to pull over and take a picture.
Lobstah On A Roll
@laurenfalcon
I still think about this lobster roll. This is a place I think Anthony Bourdain would enjoy - it has character and uncomplicated delicious food.

Hawthorne Hotel
@laurenfalcon
A historic hotel in the perfect location to explore Salem. There's a restaurant on the bottom floor with drinks named after the town's famous past. This hotel normally gets fully booked for October in January. The entry level rooms are pretty cozy and tight.
