Just got back from a month long trip back east to visit an old friend in New Hampshire. Had a great time, saw some interesting things, and learned a lot.
Stayed in Nashua at the Crowne Plaza. Top floor. Room was fairly standard variety. Best thing was the living room/commons area. Continental breakfasts and late afternoon free cocktails and dinner snacks. The hostesses were first rate. I signed a copy of Deadly Angel for each of them.
Sightseeing included the Laconia Biker Fest at Weirs Beach, the Harvard Quad, the Fourth of July fireworks on the Charles River, Boston Commons, Science Park, North Bridge, Walden Pond, Portsmouth Brewery, Keene State University, Bretton Woods, and the cog railway to the summit of Mount Washington. Scenery was fantastic and weather mostly sunny.
My friend took me to a medical clinic where I had a colonoscopy. Yikes! Actually it wasn’t that bad. They had me pretty doped on meds. I had some other work done as well. No need to be more specific here. Anyway, I was so impressed with the staff that I’ve decided to become a regular patient. It may be a cross-country away, but New England has the best medical care in the world.
Now for the learning part. Spent time at a couple coin shops. Got acquainted with Gold Eagles and junk silver. Bought a silver bar and a couple Canadian 1 oz. Platinums. Also got some inside news on the likelihood of hyperinflation. Best to be prepared, people.
Best of all was seeing my old friend and meeting his family. I haven’t had this much “social” time in quite some time. It was good for me.
