You're from Europe, absolutely no need rent a car, go all the way up to Littleton to visit Schillings. Some suggestions as you go on your way:

Some genuine New Hampshire/American spots:

Stop in Manchester, if you're interested in American politics or food. If you want a classic food experience, go to Red Arrow Diner. Absolute heavyweights in the political arena, and a damn fine diner meal. That being said, if you want to find the quintessentially American food experience, go to the Puritan in Manchester. Get the tenders. With the dipping sauce? Best chicken tenders I've ever had. Want to be a real American? Get the landslide.

If you want an truly quaint New England/American diner experience, stop at Joanne's Kitchen in Nashua. Some of the best diner food I've ever had, some of the most satifisying meals I've ever had.

In the northern Lakes region? Cross a couple minutes over the state border into Maine, to go visit Kristas over in Cornish. Hands down, some of the best meals I've ever had out. Superb experience.

One more: if you're really going to Gilmanton/Gunstock -- the Tilt'n Diner. Personally, I haven't been back there in a couple years, but the food absolutely slaps every time I go.

DM me if you have any more Qs!

Attitash Bear Peak, every day of the week.

100 percent this. Have never regretted a tasting or time I've been to at Jack Rose. Bill and his staff have just created this beautiful space for anyone who enjoys whisky to chase the most delicious version of things you love and things you want to try.

Good q! Everyone in our group is vaxxed + boosted, and we didn't hold a rehearsal for more than a year from March 2020 to when everyone was vaccinated in June 2021. We rely on members to not come to rehearsal when they test positive/don't feel well, and I think we're pretty good about trusting each other and making space for that -- one of our members is pregnant, and obviously wants to be careful about it, and each of us trusts everyone else (we all like/trust/care for each other, as we've all known each other for at least 4 years). Basically, we ask people to test themselves and/or stay home if they’re not feeling well, but we don’t test everyone before every rehearsal. Does that answer your Q?

Oh no! We have an IG, though only occassionally post (mostly stories) to it: https://www.instagram.com/lost_sound/?hl=en

Let us know if you ever have an interest in transitioning to a smaller singing group! Sorry for the conflicting scheduling.
