Hello, my name is Enrique and I’ve been listening to FTL since about 2006. I plan on taking a trip to visit NH sometime later this year with my son and gf. Any advice would be appreciated.
Welcome!
I advise that you definitely do that. Let us know if you plan to come to Keene and we’ll be sure top have a meet-n-greet.
Keene was definitely in the plans. Have any recommendations on places to visit? We plan on being there for at least a week.
The whole state? Portsmouth, Manch, North Country, Concord
How old is your son, and what time of year do you plan on visiting?
If I was visiting the New England area, I wouldn’t limit myself to NH. As a yankee, I pretty much see New England one state.
Boston is the hub of New England. Lots of history. I liked visiting the Museum of Science when I was a kid. https://www.mos.org
Portland Maine is also worth a visit. https://www.visitportland.com
Taking a road trip up Rt. 1 to Bar Harbor is really nice drive.
Hey Enrique,
Welcome! I look forward to meeting you. Do please visit Portsmouth. It is on the East-most edge of NH (on the water) and has a strong focus on family and entrepreneurship. If you post when you are coming, I will organize a small meetup at a restaurant so you can meet some of the cool people here and get a feel for how the vibe is different from Keene.
The Freecoast Fest is our annual event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-fourth-annual-freecoast-festival-tickets-33562069052
What kind of things do you like to do for fun? What are you most looking forward to about the Shire?
Yours in peace,
Derrick J

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, Once I get the exact date of when I’m going, which depends on my son’s school schedule, I’ll post so maybe we can all meet up. It should be sometime in October.
Also, I’ve lived in California my whole life so what should I expect weather wise? Should I go shopping for really warm clothes?
One thing I definitely want to get a chance to visit is your Bitcoin store DerrickJ.
depending on what sort of weather you’re used to (and that varies depending on where in CA you’re from), you may want to bring anything from a light jacket to a full-on winter coat.
This chart might give you some ideas (note, these are averages; you’ll want to check a 5-10 day forecast before visiting):

If you’re in California, you’re gonna probably be cold if you come later this year. Dress warm - you can always take layers off if needed.
