Moirnh, this is the plan so far, as yo can see quite a few of your suggestions we have incorporated when we went more into detail yesterday. We're skipping Boston, it's just too expensive because I really wanna stay in NY a couple of days and we can't do both. We've got a car when we leave NY. Now we just need to find places to stay in North Vermont. I would also love to take a daytrip to Montreal. How easy is that to do? Can we just cross the border without any problems (visa or rental car wise?)

The answer to your post #7 is in my FAQ post #147, which I listed in my post #5. All of which is very efficient.
have checked those WillySnout, don't worry, I do do my homework, but you are not the only person on this board and others may also have something to say to my questions.
Just returned from 3 days in Franconia, NH, a couple hours ago. We went there on a whim because it was the bull's eye of the recent snowstorm, having received over 2 feet of snow. And it was subject to continual snow squalls throughout weekend. In all, a delight for the senses.
In September, not sure why one would go there, other than to get oneself into a remote corner of the country, which also doesn't sound bad to me. But the big draw up there is generally the White Mountains. Fall foliage season starts in late Sept at the earliest. More commonly, second week of Oct.
Just not sure why pick Franconia then, as much as I enjoy it. Well, if you have a car, it IS within striking distance of much of the White Mountains attractions. So there's that.
Btw: The 2 local cops seemed to be everywhere, dressed in black leather from head to calve-height boots, acting all-powerful. And we heard they were pulling people over for any excuse. Do not drink and drive.
If you're going to be in South Yarmouth (Cape Cod), definitely take a trip to Provincetown. And I mean don't miss it! About an hour's drive (tops) from Yarmouth, park the car and walk around. Two or three hours, and you'll cover the main part of town. Great little shops and galleries, plenty of places to get lunch or dinner. Take a walk through the dunes at the National Seashore. You'll see a slice of Cape Cod that Patti Page once sang about.

booking hotel rooms:
With the chain hotels you can hold a room with a credit card upto 4pm usually
this means you won't be charged until 4pm on the day of arrival
make sure you carefully read the hotel(s) TERMS and CONDITIONS
to be safe.
So please book your rooms now for the w / ends
at least.
September on the w / ends is very popular with the locals, getting away from the city
especially along the coastline from Cape Cod all the way to Nova Scotia
