Attn NH people...[views:7363][posts:50]______________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 6:01pm - Joshtruction ""] Sometime over the next week or two I am taking my son up to story land. Do you know any decent hotels, inns, or motels with decent rates that have a fridge and microwave in the room? |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 6:04pm - largefreakatzero ""] There's plenty up in the lakes region. DO NOT try this week though -- it's Bike Week in Laconia and the place is a zoo. You will not find a room. All the retards go home on Sunday though. |

I think we are aiming for a 2 night stay starting on the 24th.bike week over by then? |
| __________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 6:17pm - powerkok ""] HAHA I went to fucking Storyland. Its a long ride. Glen NH. We took the Kangamangus. We took our 1st spawn there when she was 2. I was BORED as fuck. It sucked balls. Spawn had fun for a few hours before I ordered everyone back in the fucking car to go home. Was REAL lame. I wasnt staying at a hotel, so I cant help you there. Dont go. Go to Canobie instead. Not worth the ride, IMO. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 6:19pm - bikegrease ""] tons of rental cabins in this area. way better than hotels. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 6:22pm - powerkok ""] Very few on thuh innuhnetz tho. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 6:22pm - bikegrease ""] we stayed at this place once, but the site isn't working right now. http://www.pemicabins.com/ |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 6:26pm - bikegrease ""] this one is really inexpensive too, but maybe less rustic looking/feeling. http://www.cozycabins.com/ |
| __________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 7:03pm - rotivore ""] the berlin motor inn is the only place you need to stay |
| __________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 7:10pm - powerkok ""] Berlin is nowhere near Glen. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 8:29pm - succubus ""] oohhhh wait...there's a place close by storyland that aaron and i stayed in..we drove by it and saw their inground pool...hang on... |
| __________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 8:37pm - succubus ""] ok i realized you said you're taking your kids...you don't need anything romantic...so i won't list any of those places...but this place is fun and has a water slide (and isn't expensive) http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g4...way-North_Conway_New_Hampshire.html |
| __________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 8:38pm - succubus ""] check out the latest review: Jun 9, 2008 We stayed at the Hampton Inn while visiting Storyland. We were very happy with the cleanliness of the rooms. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The free breakfast was satisfying - more than a basic continental breakfast. The indoor water park was a nice diversion - especially with the area scaled for smaller children. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 8:50pm - succubus ""] ok i looked and i guess it's a little more than it was 6 months ago...not sure what your budget is...but aaron and i have stayed in north conway quite a few times..we really like the area...and it's close by..i recommend going to expedia, entering in your travel dates and sorting the results from lowest to highest price and then go to tripadvisor and check out the reviews. additionally...www.kayak.com they check prices on ALL the various travel sites...so you can make sure you're getting the lowest price at whatever hotel you choose. let me know if you need more help. |

Not worth the ride, IMO. there's not much for little kids too do there... believe me, well you got the kiddie land, then the canoes, and the airplanes i think thats it. if they're 36" you can take them on the flume, but i don't think canobie is worth the $29 price tag, but if the kids are under 2 they get in for free... story land and santa's village would be a good trip. maybe even take them to the clarks trading post. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 9:23pm - Joshtruction ""] Thanks for the heads up Carina! I dig the idea of that indoor water park. I am always trying to find a way to beat the heat so that indoor water park sounds awesome. We will ry to find a place either later on tonight or tomorrow. I hope that place is in my budget. I am trying to convince her to stop off at water country on the way home and take advantage of our seasons passes. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 17,2008 9:25pm - Joshtruction ""] We are also hiting up some waterfall shit in the area too. |

| __________________________________ [Jun 21,2008 7:47pm - succubus ""] what did you guys end up doing or are you there now? |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 21,2008 7:55pm - Joshtruction ""] We are leaving tuesday. I forgot the name of the place. I will search my aim logs fo the link and post it in a sec. |

I used to love those three places when I was little... The Polar Caves is another fucking sweet stop |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 5:15am - Joshtruction ""] ok so I am heading off now. I'll let you guys know how it was, or is if I have connection!!! Thanks for all the suggestions! |
| __________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 8:00am - powerkok ""] And it is at this point, whilst Josh is STILL driving, he realizes just how long that drive really is. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 8:49am - the_reverend ""] it's not "that" long of a drive. I forget where he's coming from, but 3 hours should be enough time to get to the flume... |
| _______________________________ [Jun 24,2008 9:10am - aril ""] new bedford to NH is a decent drive. shoulda went to santa's village. |

| _______________________________ [Jun 24,2008 9:14am - aril ""] as I told the Rev, NH has sucked since the Old Man in the Mountain fell. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 9:15am - largefreakatzero ""] Our great state has much more to offer than a stupid rock formation. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 24,2008 9:18am - aril ""] Northern NH is sweet. Southern..? |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 9:34am - largefreakatzero ""] aril said:Northern NH is sweet. Southern..? Southern NH = glorified MA. Actually the coast is pretty nice, but I think we should just chop off Nashua and give it to you guys as a gift. We'll keep Manchester though -- I find its shittiness almost intriguing. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 24,2008 9:37am - aril ""] Nashua's in NH? WHAT? Manchester has its parts - but then again, it's not the best thing ever. Concord and Keene are kind of nice. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 4:48pm - powerkok ""] I lived in Concord for 12 years. It sucks balls. Want something to do? Ever? Dont move to Concord. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 4:49pm - powerkok ""] That said, everything in the immediate Concord vicinity, is absolutely beautiful. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 4:51pm - powerkok ""] There are some nice spots in Southern NH. Jaffery is nice, and out towards Auburn/Antrim too. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 24,2008 4:57pm - rev ""] aril said:as I told the Rev, NH has sucked since the Old Man in the Mountain fell.I left the country for one fucking weekend.... |
| ______________________________ [Jun 24,2008 4:58pm - rev ""] antrim sucks |
| ______________________________ [Jun 24,2008 4:58pm - rev ""] and auburn used to be the KKK center of new england. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 24,2008 7:03pm - powerkok ""] rev said:and auburn used to be the KKK center of new england. So? youre white, what do you have to worry about? Whats the KKK center of N.E. now, Suncook? |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 11:50am - Joshtruction ""] OK so I stood at the Golden Gables Inn. Nice place, pool and hot tube over looking Mt. Washington, the Conway train passes right in back so the kids can check that out. If you got little ones these is a nice outdoor playground and shit. Most importantly, the place was CLEAN. So story land kicked ass. My 15 month old son went on the flume and loved it. The flume was a world faster than the roller coaster they have there yet they would not let him on the coaster. Oh well. There was some musical shit going on, and a circus and my son was dancing and smiling away. That was enough to make me content with the whole trip. He was so happy the whole time we were there. We also went by diana's bath. Water was cold as fuck. still had a nice picnic and a good time though. Especially when I fell into the water and ended up with one of the waterfalls pouring down on me. The muddy moose resturaunt has some kick ass BBQ sauce. Made for some great burgers. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 11:55am - the_reverend ""] omg!I think carina and I stayed at that inn AND we went to dianne's bath. did you see the sun rise over maine from any ledges? |

Missed the sunrise, but got some cool pics of it setting on Mt Washington. I also went to the top of some high ass mountain you can drive up and went to some fenced in viewing area where people were rock climbing. What a huge fucking cliff that shit was! |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 12:02pm - the_reverend ""] that's where we saw the sunrise! |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 12:09pm - Joshtruction ""] now that I think of it, that would make a killer spot to see a sunrise! Our baby was still sleeping at that time and we didn't want to wake him. We just waited for him to wake on his own at 8-9 and start our day instead of waking him early and making him cranky. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 12:10pm - succubus ""] yup yup that's where we stayed!! lol it was nice and not expensive! I wanted to give you the name of that palce and i couldn't remember it! lol glad you guys had fun! |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 12:16pm - Joshtruction ""] Yeah it was awesome. $100 a night was not bad compared to some places in the area thats for sure. Prices are a dramatic change from the places I was at in PA a few months ago. 35-45 a night for a nice place. Motel 6 was 44 a night for a twin bed room for example. Oh well, NH was far superior to state college PA haha. I want to move there so damn bad. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 27,2008 3:18pm - Hoser ""] New Englanders don't let Massholes drive. Period. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 27,2008 3:19pm - Hoser ""] It's tourist season again and the Masswipes are bombing our roads with their rude attitudes and shitty driving habits. We are inundated with Massholes. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 3:32pm - Joshtruction ""] oh shush sweet cheeks, I drive just fine! |
| _______________________________ [Jun 27,2008 3:33pm - aril ""] Worst Drivers In New England: RI>CT>MA>VT>NH>ME Rhode Island Drivers are horrible. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 3:48pm - Joshtruction ""] so according to that logic the further south you go the worst the drivers get? Interesting. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 27,2008 4:55pm - the_reverend ""] it's true. |
