We will stop once on route for morning refreshments which are included with your trip cost. Traffic gets very congested the closer we get to Salem. We are hoping to arrive in Salem close to 12- 12:30. Rich will drop off near the Hawthorne Hotel, 18 Washington Square West. So check your maps because there is so much too do in this area and it also leads up to the center of town where the shops and restaurants are located. You; have until 8:30 to sight see, ghost walks, etc. on your own. Rich will pick you back up in the same area at 8:30 pm.
The hotel is 12 miles from Salem. In the morning, the hotel has a breakfast buffet included with your cost. Room gratuity and also Rich's thank you is also included in the cost of the trip. The plan is to check out by 8:30 am and head back to Salem. Rich will once again drop off by the Hawthorne Hotel and also for those interested, drop off at the House of Seven Gables and the oldest candy store in the US is located across the street. Rich will pick up there about 2 hrs. after drop off and take you to the Hawthorne Hotel area where you can enjoy the rest of Sunday before heading back home @ 3:00. On the way home, you will stop for a quick fast food dinner. The goal is to be back in Boonville around 9:30-10:00...it all depends on traffic and weather.
