283.0. "Clonmel Calling" by KLOV01::LOGAN (DECkchair Attendant ) Thu Oct 15 1987 12:50

	Hi there,
    
        I originally entered the note below in the Massachusetts notes
        file. At the suggestion of Kevin BURREN::BURNS I have placed
        it in this notes file because of the number of ex-pats to be
    	found reading these notes.
 
    	Thanks in advance,
    			  Andy.

    Carly Simons night club is on Martha's vineyard and is called
    the ole tin shack.   You have to take a ferry to get there.
283.2A Fan of CarlyKLOV01::LOGANDECkchair Attendant Thu Oct 15 1987 13:372
    Thanks for the information.
    Does Carly perform there and if so how often?
283.3CIVIC::JOHNSTONrebel without applauseThu Oct 15 1987 16:1416
    As you had noted, 'photogenic' is all over around here.  As your
    time is limited, what do you like to photo? 
    
    Autumn colour?  you picked the right time of year [along with thousands
    	of tour buses full of blue-hairs]  just about anywhere you look.
    	
    Architectural features?  where would depend on the sort
            
    Human interest?  try Harvard Square in Cambridge. or the Quincy
       Market in Boston
    
    the list could be endless...

283.4The Chamber of Commerce is paying me...SUPER::ST_ONGEThu Oct 15 1987 16:4730
    I had to get my two cents in here...especially after the reference
    in the previous response to "blue hairs."
    
    Hey, watch it honey, or my grandmother will beat you with her cane!       
    
    Some of my favorite places in Mass. include the houses of famous
    people in Concord:     (1/2 hour from Westford)
                           
    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    Louisa May Alcott
    Walden Pond (although I haven't been over there since it was
    "renovated"  It probably looks like Asbury Park now)
                      
    All very nice for taking pictures.
    
    Or you could head west on Rte. 2 to Quabbin Reservoir.  Bring your
    binoculars and telephoto lens and you'll catch some eagles if you're
    lucky.  (1-1/2 hour away)
    
    Beaches north of Boston are great this time of year, especially
    Plum Island wildlife refuge.
    
    If you're staying at the Westford Regency, everyone in this notes 
    file will show up with their rubber ducks to hit the pool and jacuzzi!  
    Better go incognito....                  
    
    Happy trails,
    
    Diane St. Onge

    re: .4  The old North Bridge
    re: .0  Sudbury, Wayside Inn & Mill
    
    ps. I am from Kerry, lived in Salthill, Galway.
    Go down to the Common, ask the local Garda "an bhfuil rud ar bith
    le feiceail thart anseo?" and I'm sure your agenda will be filled.
283.6TALLIS::DARCYBugs are goodThu Oct 15 1987 18:557
    I you like to hike, bring your camera + binoculars + down jacket
    and climb Mt. Monadnock, which is right over the New Hampshire
    border.  It takes 2 1/2 hours to climb and affords a panoramic
    view from Boston - NY - Vermont - NH - Canada - Maine - Cape Cod
    on a clear day.
    
    Bring a lunch too.  No BQ or Mickey D's.
283.7No jacuzzi?KLOV07::LOGANDECkchair Attendant Fri Oct 16 1987 05:2116
    A big thankyou to all who took the time and trouble to reply to
    my note. It's very much appreciated. I'll endeavour to cover as
    much of the ground suggested as time permits.
    
    As regards taking your rubber ducks to the Westford Regency I've
    some bad news. For Westford Regency now read Quality Heritage Inn,
    Chelmsford. I hope that they've got a jacuzzi there! I'll be there
    from Saturday 17th to Saturday 24th, excluding Sunday 18th when I'll
    be in Augusta, Maine.               
    
    I'll put a note in the file to let you know how I got on when I
    get back. Hope to see some of you when I'm over there.
    
    Regards,
    	   Andy.

    Andy,
    
    I don't know if you'll get an opportunity to read this but if you
    get to Boston, I'd highly recommend the Freedom Trail which will
    take you around the historical sites of Boston.  You can get a brochure
    and follow a red painted line along the pavement.  Mind you I still
    got lost!
