Number 5

We hear New Hampshire is lovely in June.

Pack the tux (and a heavy coat), book that flight, or trip-check your Subaru, Bruce. It's time to head north.

Welcome New Hampshire to the growing list of northeastern states sanctioning Civil Unions. As of the official 2008 ball-drop EST, New Hampshire joined ranks with Vermont, New Jersey, and Connecticut, which all allow CUs. Then there's Massachusetts, of course, which goes all the way to permit Gay Marriage.
