Hi All...
I'd love to join you, but would only be able to meet up for lunch and possibly hit Quilted Threads if its your last stop. (I'm in Bow).
The 99 Restaurant in Concord is off of Loudon Rd near the Steeplegate Mall. It will most likely take 25-30 mins to get to QT depending on holiday weekend traffic (shouldn't be all that bad that time of day).
There is also Chen Yang Li (Chinese) off of Rt. 89, Exit 1... literally,right off the highway. Easy off and easy back on to head north to Henniker.
FYI: Daniel's in Henniker is a great place to eat, with great people. I'm not sure when New England College (in Henniker) Parent's Weekend is, but be on alert if its during your weekend trip. It will be obnoxiously busy everywhere in Henniker and surrounding area.
Please keep us posted closer to the date as to what the final plans are. I would love to meet more people from the board!

Hi QBeth,
Boy, this is really going so well! I will be able to meet you in Salem. I can't do the hop, hubby wouldn't be to happy about that - its our anniversary weekend. Salem isn't far from Rockport, so I can easily find my way. If you PM me, I will give you my cell phone number and you can let me know about what time you would be there? That's if Salem ends up on the hop list. You might be heading toward NH from the sound of where everyone is.

Kooklabell,
The Salem we are talking about is Salem NH, not Salem Ma, which is close to Rockport.
May I suggest you let us know what kind of time frame you will have available on that Saturday, and maybe we can change the plans to be more suitable to your needs.

Kooklabell brings up a point that I've been thinking about; i.e., how to coordinate with folks that can't join the entire shop hop. First, IMO, we need to firm up the shop list and the order in which we visit them. I have a very good list based on suggestions from all of you; to define a reasonable order, I'll look at a map or, all of you chime in!
From the looks of it, Quilted Threads in Henniker, NH, will be our last stop. Any opinions on how long we might dilly dally at other shops? Half-hour, 45 mins, ??? Once we have a rough schedule, then we can decide the best way to let everyone, who isn't on the whole shop hop, know where we are. Again, suggestions? Do we call the few who fall into this group? I have cell phone coverage, no charge, across the country so it's no problem to call people.
How does this sound as a starting point for planning?
