Q is for Quinebaug.
The Hombre and I were out to dinner with a few people last week talking about our new little pad and our experiences with trying to find totally cool industrial antiques with which to furnish it in style. Turns out this is a difficult (not to mention mind-bogglingly expensive) mission in the middle of Manhattan.
Some friends thought to mention their experiences at the Brimfield Antique Show: a thrice yearly event that appeared to be a cross between adventure sport/shopping/music festival where several hundred thousand people gather to buy and sell antiques. Um. Yes. Please. We'd most likely missed the Summer session, but should start thinking about Fall... Ok. Sure.
Cut to. Home on the sofa with Google. "Hombre, what's the date?" "13th...?" Oooo yeah.... Summer show runs 15 - 19 July.
"Are there any big Zipcars?"
"This one is called half-car/half-house - book it?"
Which is how I came to be searching for an Inn within a short drive of Brimfield, MA. I just couldn't resist an adorable B&B just over the border in Quinebaug, CT.
Of course it had nothing to do with the town starting with Q. And my 101 in 1001 and the Travel A-Z goal. No, nothing at all.

The stupefying city calls to bask and loiter around the streets and kick some sand at its world famous beaches, wade through the colourful markets to grab handful of precious and priceless items. Among the man-made, go beyond to marvel at the nature’s best from the underwater life to the bird’s eye sight from the Ariel views of the city to leave you breathless.
