Thanks all. We actually left last Saturday at 6am and were in VT 7 hours later. Yes, we did take I91 all through Mass and VT. I used to go up there all the time when I was growing up, but the wife hasn't been so she finally got to see what "country" really looks like.

House prices are similar to down in MD if you're looking for nice lake frontage. The house we rented was about 2 million or so considering the 500 feet of waterfront and the fact that the owner also owned an entire stable an pasture on the opposite side of the house.

SuperGreg - yup the dog from little rascals was a american pit bull terrier, same as sasha. Although I believe he was white and they added the black spot Sasha is a 45lb walking Gateway computer ad. She actually did really well on the ride up, slept the whole time.

imola4.8isWA - the camera is a Fuji FinePix E550 w/a 512MB card. (cool camera, does video with audio and has a 6.3 megapixel sensor which is sweet)
