Thanks to JetBlue Park, the spring training “Fenway South” home of the Boston Red Sox, the southwestern Florida city of Fort Myers is a popular warm-weather destination for New Englanders each spring. Beyond baseball, however, it’s a great option for any Florida vacation – offering plenty of sun, sand, and a range of activities for […]
Like a good New Englander, I adore baked beans. On their own with brown bread for Sunday supper, alongside a burger at a summer cookout, or spooned on top of scrambled eggs in the morning for breakfast — those sweet, molasses-infused beans always find a spot on the menu. Still, it’s fun to think of […]

Tucked into our town is a classic ski jump, a link back to when children grew up impatient for winter, because then they could climb the steps to their local jump and take off, soaring like wild birds, just as their parents once had. Only a handful of places still retain this tradition, and nowhere […]
On the map, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center’s “Grand Tour” looks like a generous oval scrawled by a 3-year-old. The Outdoor Center, a four-season resort tucked beside Great Hosmer Pond, has a network of cross-country ski trails that unspool from its campus and travel dozens of kilometers beyond it.
