Mrs H wants to go northeast for our next trip. She's got Mysic, CT on
the mind for some reason. One of her friends mentioned it as a nice
place to visit. Anyone know anything about the place?


Anything and everything. Seaport, Aquarium, Groton, Watch Hill and
environs - plenty to see and do.


I'd be glad to be a tour guide.


Might even take a little boat ride if you have the time - we can head
out towards The Race, around Fisher's Island and up to Point Judith or
over towards Montauck.


Hey John, you should get with Tom and I when you come up... You could
spend a day in Essex too, and hit Mystic the next morning. Downtown
Essex on the water is great in the summer, especially on a weekend.
The Grizwold Inn is a great place to eat, you can have Sandwiches at
Olive Oyl's by the water... The Essex Steamtrain and Ferry ride from
Deep River to the Shoreline and back is pretty cool too... If in
Mystic I would certainly suggest the Aquarium, and the Seaport. If
anything, we should all get together for dinner somewhere or a bbq at
my place.


Hell, this is sounding so good I may leave MrsH here and come by
motorcyle!

Now I've got places to go, places to eat, and people to meet. What the
hell more could anyone want? I'll check it out with SWMBO and get back
with you when we firm up some plans.

Sounds cool though!
