Looks like fun, but too far way for me - I did the Connecticut shop hop last year, it was 17 shops, but I had a job then so could afford to do it - maybe next year if I have a job and can spend some money - I LOVE doing them, I always meet so many interesting people and learn so many new things. Enjoy the hop, I will be with you in spirit - show us some of the treasures you find on your jaunt!
