Ni hao! (Hello in Chinese...pronounced "knee how")<br><br>We are now one week away from our departure and realizing that next week at this time we will be in the air over the Pacific and headed to China! The accumulating of stuff is coming to an end and the real packing is beginning. The girls love the whole packing thing...their mother...not so much. Excitement is in the air as the count down begins. <br><br>We are looking forward to ...

... in the city. From small mom and pop boutiques to outstanding malls, Portland has the upper hand on upscale shopping. You will definitely see your share of dazzling jewelry and fine art, and there is no better place to see it than in the fabulous museums and art galleries. The Portland Museum of Art and the Bayview Gallery are two of the premier establishments in town, and the equally delightful Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company and Museum is always a treat. You can ...

... just as well, as the welcoming sign on entering New Hampshire, carries the tag-line, "Live free or die." I see what they're trying to say, I think, but there are maybe other ways of saying it. I'm still alive so I must have been living free enough for the people of that particular state. Anyway, it all makes a nice change from my usual 9-5 desk job.<br><br>So aside from lots of driving ...

we sailed into boothsbay in the dark (as usual). we only had limited lights, so it was a crew effort to communicate with chris who was motoring the boat in via GPS coordinates and autopilot. <br><br>"boat at 1 o'clock!" <br><br> "mooring at 11 o'clock!" <br><br> we successfully docked (at the wrong dock than planned but we docked none the less). we had hoped to get farther up the coast but the last few days had been light wind (cary said ...

... had no idea there were so many! but you can only see them by boat, and turns out maine has the longest coastline of any of the 50 states (i'm pretty sure this is what chris told me). some islands have lots of houses on them, plus a few stores, maybe a school. some kids have to take a ferry to the mainland for school in portland. but some islands are privately owned and have only 1 or 2 houses on them. if maine wasn't ...

... walking down the high street !<br>We decided to leave one of the crew members ashore today... the chap just didn't get back to the ship in time!<br>As i'm writing we are cruising out of Portland and into Massachusetts Bay via Casco Bay. Hopefully get some nice pics. Getting a little colder the closer we get to Canada.<br>We're in Bar Harbor, Maine tomorrow. Supposed to be ...

... 1 langosta hervida y una marzorca de maíz para cada uno. Nos hemos colocado el baberito..... ¡y a jamar! ¡Qué cosa más rica!..... MMMMMM<br><br>Nuestro plan era comer langosta y luego irnos a la playa de Hampton, tal y como nos había recomendado Eli, porque es la playa de los famosetes. El caso es que a primera hora de la mañana hacía niebla, luego ha salido el sol y, mientras comíamos, ha empezado a llover. Así que playa como que no ...

... through a very scenic Maine, up to the oldest Lighthouse in Maine. Maine has 71 working lighthouses along its cost, and has had many many shipwrecks overtime. Maine is really a "postcard" like setting, with everything being gorgeous! Had the MOST divine Ice Cream in Portland, it was all homemade ice cream, and I think it was possibly the best Ice Cream I have ever had, it was so heavy, it took me like 20minutes just to ...
