NEW HAMPSHIRE

With only 18 miles of oceanfront, New Hampshire is not known for beaches, but Hampton Beach is the local favorite. While locals venture into the ocean, I found the water to be too cold and uninviting. The controversial Seabrook nuclear power plant is located near Hampton Beach, and travelers are advised to stay on the main highways to better beaches both north and south. While beaches are not New Hampshire's strong suit, I really enjoyed the skiing experiences at Sunapee and Canon Mountain during my residence in the "Granite State". Most restaurants only serve hot drinks during the winter, but I prefer ice tea, having been raised on this stuff in North Carolina. To satisfy my thirst, I ask the waiters to bring me hot tea, which they do. Then I request a big glass of ice and proceed to make my own ice tea, much to their chagrin.
