A Perfect Day Trip in Vermont

Posted on by Roberta Hill

Last Monday, we headed off for a day trip to Stowe and Smugglers’ Notch. Whether you’re exploring the dramatic landscapes of the Notch or relaxing in Stowe’s charming village, this slice of Vermont will leave you planning your next visit. It combines natural beauty, cultural history, and delightful local flavours, making it a memorable destination for travellers of all interests and one we plan on doing next week. I was very excited to make this trip as we purchased the GuideAlong Tour Package for Vermont Route 108. We loved these audio tours when we first discovered them on our World…

Around Middlebury – Not Your Typical Activities

Posted on by Roberta Hill

Today, we visited three off-the-beaten-path locations. The first was an interesting sculpture park that I am sure is unknown by many. It reminded me a little of the Parque De Las Esculturas in Santiago and even a little of a park we visited in La Petite-Gaspése. I was 18 years old when I realized that the type of art that spoke to me was three-dimensional, specifically sculpture. I don’t recall the details, but I was at some fancy place for dinner in Stockholm with my parents, and in the garden, there were these sculptures that I found extremely appealing. I…

Drive to Middlebury from Burlington on Hwy 7

Posted on by Roberta Hill

I thought I’d share with you or drive to Middlebury from Montreal yesterday. It rained before we left, but it cleared up when we left. The threat of rain travelled with us, but we were fortunate to escape the bad weather. The drive itself from Montreal to Burlington. It’s about an hour and 45 minutes and, to be honest, isn’t all that exciting. That said, we were very much looking forward to visiting Trader Joe’s in South Burlington, We discovered Trader Joe’s when we were staying in New York City and were advised that it would be a better place…

Remembering Vermont and Middlebury

Posted on by Roberta Hill

We are off to Middlebury, Vermont, for a pet-sitting opportunity later this week. I have fond memories of Vermont. Growing up in Montreal, we would often take short trips down to bordering states. One of my fondest memories is when my mother and her friends would go to Burlington for a shopping weekend. The objective was to get Christmas gifts for the kids. Of course, I was excited to contemplate what my Mum might bring home. I remember getting a gumball machine. It was so cool, and nobody else had one. The Canadian dollar was pegged to the US dollar,…

Riding Amtrak’s Vermonter

Posted on by Roberta Hill

I came across a deal to watch the autumn leaves on a train from Saint Albans, about an hour and 15 south of Montreal and Vermont, down to Washington, D.C. It was a ridiculously cheap fare, but it was 13 hours. There was no way Louise would be inconsiderate on so many accounts, but she suggested my brother, and Greg was keen. Since I couldn’t turn around to get up at dawn the next day, we decided to stay in Washington for two nights. I don’t know what happened in the last three years, but hotels in big cities like…
