New England in 5 days

Not sure where to post this, so will start here. We are flying up to New York in Sept. to visit our son. Monday-Friday, we would like to rent a car and see some of New England.

We thought we would take a train to somewhere in Conn. and rent a car. I know I want to stop in Newport, RI and do the cliff walk, maybe a mansion. I want to drive through cape cod, salem, and ipswich. I don%26#39;t have to make long stops there. I can skip Boston. I would like to make it into Maine and of course have lobster. It would be nice to drive across New Hampshire and into Vermont. Possibly Ben and Jerry%26#39;s and the Cabot Creamery. Of couse see the scenery. Possibly stop in Woodstock on the way back to New York.

Is this doable?? Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance.

New England in 5 days

This is a good itinery, but you would probably be a bit much to say the least. One day to get to Npt, one day to get to the Cape and back through Boston, then one day for Salem, Ipswich, by the time you get to ME it will be evening and you%26#39;ll just have to leave the next morning to do the rest. Maybe forget Ipswich and Salem, and Woodstock too. If you want to go all the way out on the Cape that would just take one day. If you get to NH I would suggest route 25 south of the White Mountains, pretty NE country.
