Today was sadly our last morning in Saint John. We got up early, showered, finished packing and walked down to Cora's for breakfast. The food was still good but the service this time was pretty bad. We were seated at a table by the window, handed menus and left. After about 10 minutes, I got … Continue reading Long Day of Driving Back to Portland, ME

Exploring Mount Desert Island
Today we spent the entire day exploring Mount Desert Island. We drove up to Cadillac Mountain in Acadia NP and enjoyed the views with several hundred of our very closest friends. The first photo is of Eagle Lake, on the way up. After that we headed off to explore the sights around the outer rim … Continue reading Exploring Mount Desert Island
First Day in Bar Harbor
Really nice room at the Inn on Mount Desert and we slept very well. Before going to bed we had a chat with Branden at the front desk who is a wealth of information. We were interesting in moderate hikes in the Acadia NP. He gave us lots of options and recommended we buy a … Continue reading First Day in Bar Harbor
Heading to Bar Harbor
Getting showered, dressed and packed up to head off for Bar Harbor and The Inn on Mt. Desert. First we'll have breakfast at Becky's and make a stop at the original LLBean in Freeport. We had a wonderful time shopping at L.L.Bean. They have a huge Petite section in the store and I found several … Continue reading Heading to Bar Harbor
Last Full Day in Portland, ME
Got up, showered and made it to breakfast, ugh. One of the all time worst hotel breakfasts I've ever had; very overcooked, very cold scrambled eggs and very cold, soggy potatoes, the muffin was great and the coffee was weak. Happily that was the worst part of the day and the rest of the day … Continue reading Last Full Day in Portland, ME
First Full Day in Maine
Woke up at 8:00 this morning after getting an amazing nights sleep. Chris was still asleep so I made myself some coffee and tried to be quiet. It was lightly raining outside and the weather widget said it was probably going to be a pretty nice day. Chris woke up about 8:45 and we began … Continue reading First Full Day in Maine
Headed for Maine
Didn't sleep last night between restless legs and thinking about the early flight. Got up at 4:00am, got dressed and finished last minute packing. I had a couple of pulls from my Nespresso. We said goodbye to our kitty and headed for the airport. There is virtually no traffic at 4:45 in the morning. We … Continue reading Headed for Maine
Packing Day
Got in a nice little bike ride this morning on our tandem. The mornings are so cool and beautiful even though the afternoons have been unbearably hot. We won't be riding bikes for 2 weeks, just hiking, walking and maybe some swimming. Did something I'm always saying I should do and end up not doing. … Continue reading Packing Day
Just a Few More Days
In three days we will board an American Airlines flight to Portland, ME. Since I started planning this trip about a year ago, I can hardly believe it's here. We have been watching the weather reports for the Maine, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick areas and have come to the conclusion we need to bring … Continue reading Just a Few More Days
