Had been planning to fly in to Boston (from LA) and take a road trip through VT/NH/Adirondacks. However, VT currently has a 14-day quarantine, and NH as well (at home). So, it appears that if that holds, these road trip plans are likely to get nixed.

Anyone familiar with things up there, think these restrictions may be lifted anytime soon?

I'll be doing the exact trip but flying into Providence. Don't plan on quarantining for any part of my stay. Not sure how it would be enforced.

What is the the reason you chose Providence over Boston?

Do we have to show evidence to where we stay?

At the time, flight times were better and cheaper.

I honestly hadn’t heard about it until your thread, so I read up on it. I don’t really see anything definitive on how they plan on enforcing it, so I’m assuming it isn’t really a hard policy. Just a please do this with an honor system. Same as Florida was earlier this year.

As someone who grew up in Vermont, these people are pretty proud about the low positivity rate. My mom drove from Boston a couple weeks back and even she had a tough time for her three day stay. She had to sign a couple forms upon arriving at her accommodation (required by law) + plenty of stares for the Massachusetts license plate.

I guess you can’t be forcibly self-quarantined, but my opinion would be to get tested, at the least, for the sake of keeping Vermont in good standing.

Same here. Looked into it a little more and found this. Other poster sounds correct... they are very “proud” of that rate, and apparently their restrictions.

Overnight Stays in VT

I may look at the itinerary not schedule any overnight stays in VT, should we still go.

NH sounds less restrictive, although still asking to self quarantine if only staying for an extended period of time.

Out of state visitors to NH

I pulled the plug on my planned Maine/NH trip for the same reasons. I’m sure it could have been gotten around, but didn’t want to risk it.

Airbnb, but I'd assume you'll do something similar at a hotel.

Lol - that's fair. Pretty easy to get through Vermont while keeping your distance.

In the end, I'm sure you will be fine, but their population is very cognizant.

Bruh, I think you are underestimating the Karens there. It would be one thing to check into an Airbnb on the coast and stay there all week for the most part. But I'm not sure I'd risk staying in a hotel, there's a good chance someone reports you I'd think. By good chance I mean I'd bet like 20% or greater.

As someone in the Destin area that routinely talks to tourists from many parts of the country I'm telling you while its mostly laid back here in the south there are some parts of the country that still think this is the black plague and will happily report anyone breaking rules.

I don't think its a terrible idea to plan a trip there in October, I just wouldn't personally book anything non refundable right now and try to book last minute or have the ability to change if things are the same in 2 months.

Going to do the same. Did you find an alternative trip?
