                oh and the weather is sketchy in the NorthEast that time of year - rainy - just my opinion

                Laconia is good but like HiJinx said, the NE weather is always sketchy. But if you take the scenic route from CA the RIDE will be the best part. My philosophy is it the journey and not the destination.
