Posting today from Portland, Maine which we're really enjoying. After a long drive yesterday (9 hours) with lots of delays and tie ups we did finally arrive around 5pm yesterday to this very charming seaside hotel in Hampton Beach. Had a great lobster dinner (with mussels thrown in) while watching the sun set over the ocean from the hotel's dining room. Exploring Maine today, will hit the Kennebuck area (Bush has a summer place there apparently but I doubt he'll be there relaxing....), Portmouth, and Kittery, then back for another lobster dinner (they have lots of variations) for me at our hotel. Tomorrow we head to Boston which looks like a pretty easy 1 hr drive, drop the car at the airport, taxi to our hotel, then Wed take the train back to NYC to leave for home Thurs. Yeah...no more difficult driving! Jim's in a bookstore...have to rout him out.
