Comfort Inn And Suites Waterville

... call it desert mountain. You stand on a table top of pink granite and see 360 water views includinig Bar Harbor. Randi loved shopping at the LL Bean Outlet in Ellsworth. Then we made it to the capital, Augusta for the night. Tomarrow we start our journey home. No more stops except to rest. We hope to make it back to Lafayette (3500 miles) by Thursday. Wish us luck.

... line. Nothing cute here. Highway 2 is terrible. We decided to look for a place to stay. No camping in this weather. No B and B's, very few motels. I checked the GPS and “Judy” (our personal GPS guide) directed up to a great little motel on Lake Wilson. There is a beautiful lawn going down to the lake. Adirondack chairs to sit in and kayaks to use-if the rain lets up we could stay here a week.---Nels

It is only 4 days away, but it seems like forever. As some of you know I will be backpacking central america for winter break.I am leaving this saturday December 20th, I will be landing in northern Honduras and other than that all I have is a general idea of where I will be heading. I will walk out of the airport without a plan and just..walk. I plan on visiting the Bay islands including Roatan. Journeying to Belize, Guatemala, the ...

This was a fairly unexciting trip...at least in the sense of stuff I can write about on this blog that pertains to traveling. I came up here to help test some of our equipment so that it can be redesigned. Can't say too much else on here. I do have to say, if going to Waterville, the Hampton Inn is much nicer and more up to date than the Holiday Inn. But the Holiday Inn does have a bar and a full restaurant downstairs, the Hampton doesn't.

... the customs/boarder control. Just an interesting border crossing in comparison to all the other crossings we have made. We travelled south along a relatively narrow highway south and found a rest stop for another break, and then south towards a small town in Maine called Canaan. We have managed to find on the net the nearest Super Wal Mart, gee only 15 miles away. Let's shop and fill the fridge and pantry with real food!

We hiked around Acadia NP up the mountains and down to the coast for a beautiful view along the coast. Then drove through Seal Harbor and stopped at Long Pond lodge restaurant for a bike ride. After bike ride we had lunch at Long Pond they just opened for the season. After lunch we drove through Bangor Maine to Palmyra RV park and Golf Course. I had my second cold shower in Maine campground just opened and cooked chicken on the BBQ.

... he commanded as we all realized at once among other things, that the fuel line had become detached. We knew we had been bested by Rt 201 and were facing some car maintenance issues. Stranded on a now closed down highway, Joe stood out in the rain with the trooper who called a tow truck while I called AAA. Connecting with Susan, the helpful and patient AAA representative of Skowhegan, I started to ...

So, today we spent the day in Bar Harbor. We did some shopping on the strip and took a ride on the Margaret Todd. Nice boat ride but made me a bit queasy. Everything in this town is insanely expensive (except for the sweatshirts 2 for 30 at some of the tourist spots). I swear they catch ya coming and going! We had one last lobster dinner on our way out of town and started our way across Maine to visit friends. Landing for the night in Waterville, ME.

... Off rubber and salt, and it's all my fault- I told them you see, the secrets of life! I told them to always Pour rum over ice, I told them the sun was as old as the hills- I told them that beavers have wide tails to kill, I answered their questions, and returneth to dust- I showed them the highway, and returneth to dust.

... and they'll be as tall as you" he'd said. And I thought he was just a liar. Now here I am sitting, ten years later in the dark of a Summer night, the fog creeping gently under those Trees, staring up into their tops. Those dozen roses I thought might last- Yes, but never grow. And yet a thousand days and a thousand storms and a million cars pull by And those trees stand, a living rest. Canto III Quietly she stole as though the ...
