Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I hope someone in the ED community can help. My father is celebrating a venerable birthday next year and has booked a house in Cape Cod for the whole family for one week. We want to spend another week on the east coast but have no idea where would be good to visit. Happy to drive c. 5-6 hours from Boston if necessary. Does anyone have any thoughts - we don't know the area at all, and our American friends and relations are all west coast based...

Thank you

I've lived in the East Coast of the US and Canada and go back once a year with my son. We went to a family wedding to Mystic Conneticut (a couple hours from Boston) last year and this is a lovely little town. My son went kayaking on the river with his uncle, there is a Historic Seaport which you can spent ages looking round - lots of lovely little shops and restaurants. We rented a very nice airbnb cottage. In the surrounding area you there are lovely places - like the Florence Grinwold Art Gallery & Museum.


Or you could go North, drive up to Maine - Maine coast is so beautiful but it could be further than you want to drive I reckon. But Maine is really great! OR, if you want to fly, you could do a stop over in Halifax Nova Scotia - easy flights from Boston and then onto the UK. Nova Scotia is a great destination for families!


Enjoy!

Depends on whether you want to stay in the North East or go down to Washington area (in which case definitely fly back from DC rather than Boston). If kids are 10 and above then Washington and all the museums etc., plus Busch Gardens and colonial Williamsburg may be fun. If they're younger then staying in the NE - Boston and going up to Maine, may be fun. Of course you can always head down to NYC but not so much fun if kids are quite young.


When are you going - consider weather as well because DC is very hot and humid in the summer.


The Cape is amazing - enjoy!

From an American who lived eight years on the east coast (Washington, DC): GO TO MAINE!! You won't regret it. Get a little cottage on the water and spend your days eating lobster rolls and wandering darling seaside towns. Check out Camden for a not too touristy (but oh so lovely!) town.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
