Thanks Sberg. I had originally planned to drive most of the itinerary but chickened our. I haven’t driven in th US for years and, of course, we drive on the other side of the road in Australia!! The thouyght of driving in the countryside sound appealing - will certainly consider it.

You'll be fine driving and it really is the only way to see New England. We went to Scotland last year and after the first day, when I swore my husband was trying to put me in a ditch, we did fine driving on the "wrong side of the road". Most of our roads in NH and Vermont, with the exception of the cities, are pretty quiet. The entire area surrounding Boston can be quite busy so I would suggest taking other transportation if you are going to Boston.

One other town that is easy to get to from Boston via bus is Hanover New Hampshire. These buses like the ones mentioned by dfrost run between Logan airport and the towns in NH. They also stop at South station in Boston. They are quite comfortable and have wifi. The name of the company that runs this service is Dartmouth Coach. Hanover is a nice small college town and has some inns right in town.
I agree with others who have said you will be able to see a lot more if you drive. Unfortunately public transportation options are pretty limited.
Many tour companies come up to northern New England in the fall. I am not sure whether you could locate one for a few days out of Boston.

Sincere thanks to all who responded to my query. I will look at all options. Am currently awaiting the delivery of a Michelin sheet map of New England so I can map out where to go. My trusty Rand McNally Road atlas is great but need to ‘see’ the whole picture.
Will let you know my final itinerary in the weeks to come. I appreciate every single comment from my Fodors Family.
