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 ...

Overview<br><br> Portland has an amazing history that stretches back over 350 years, and this wonderful town has blossomed into the largest city in Maine. This close-knit community is second only to San Francisco when it comes to restaurants per capita. Old brick buildings and cobblestone streets still exist, and the blend of past and present in Portland is exhilarating. In addition to the prevalence of dining facilities, there are an unbelievable number of stores and shopping ...

We could see a large house, a guard house and several large, black vehicles -probably Secret Service. There were several buildings/houses, a swimming pool, tennis court and helicopter landing pad.<br><br>We then headed south to Kittery where all the factory outlets ...

... I won't describe, plenty of amazing places, which I'm not clever enough to describe, and the usual food and booze, which you don't need me to describe, there's not much else to say.<br><br>Am off to Connecticut tomorrow to stay with my mate, Phil for a few days so it'll be nice to talk to another human being rather than the collection of bad toiletry products from various motels that I have ...

... this time to Home Depot for some insulation for the bus. We also stopped in at a motor spares shop for some spares and had a very interesting conversation regarding rear fog lights, or rather the total lack of them in the US. One guy in particular could not get his head around why such a thing would be necessary. If it&#8217;s foggy and someone runs into the back of you, you just claim against his or her ...

... food arrived before we even knew what was happening. How confusing!!! Also a far cry from our last service experience at Uncle Andy's. Setting: Reviewed last time, but for an update we are including some photos, including the "Where the Elite Meet to Eat" slogan. Also the selection of paintings has circulated somewhat. There were some amateurish but pleasing paintings of ...
