You can visit the same great locations we did on our vacation, and at a discount. Totally cool, right?
Nordic Village -- Jackson, NH
- Finish/Supplement your Back to School shopping in nearby North Conway, NH (or get a jump on your holiday shopping while the crowds are manageable!). No sales tax in NH.
- Fall hiking in the White Mountains can be spectacular - I love to see the leaves change color. I'm such a New Englander.
- Enjoy family attractions without so many people in line for the rides.
- And don't forget that Nordic Village has lots of family entertainment right on site!
Best Western Merry Manor Inn -- South Portland, Maine
- You can modify some of the same reasons listed above for Nordic Village (shopping at the Maine Mall, take a trip to Freeport for a LL Bean pilgrimage or outing, visit some unique family attractions like a life-size moose made out of chocolate).
- Plus, Merry Manor Inn makes for a comfortable and welcoming home base for your Portland, Maine area excursions.
- They often have Spa Nights on site! Check their Facebook page for more details on specific dates.
- Ride the ferry to Peaks Island and take a crisp fall bike ride. Grab an ice cream cone to eat down at the beach as you wait for the ferry back to Portland.
- Enjoy the Old Port area shops and eateries. Bon Appetit magazine recently named Portland as the foodiest small town!
- Take the kids to the Portland Children's Museum or a whale watch for a fun day trip. Check out the Sept. 2009 issue of Family Fun magazine for a list of things to do in the Portland area in their "Family Getaways" section.
- GREAT value.
- Flying out of Portland is really easy from this location.
Ogunquit River Inn -- Ogunquit, Maine
- You can still do shopping from this location: outlet shopping is in nearby Kittery, Maine.
- The ocean water is always cold in Maine, but the beach is much less crowded in September. ORI has a FREE shuttle right to the Ogunquit beach. You really can't go wrong.
- Walk the Marginal Way, and enjoy the ocean air and fall colors around you.
- Play golf (or mini-golf).
- Enjoy the view from your balcony overlooking the salt marsh area, or even from a kayak. Sip umbrella drink of your choice. (Put that in-room fridge to use!)
Don't forget to follow the Lafayette Hotel group on Twitter, and become a Facebook fan for more great deals year-round. Even if your travel will take place after Sept. 30th, please let the hotel know that you heard about them here. Thanks!

Hi! I really love your scrolling blog advertisement widget ("When you're not reading KMC, here are some other great blogs to read"). Where did you find that, or is there a code for it?
Great website!
