Here we are, winding up the Maine trip. I intended to blog more, but you know how it goes when you're on vacation!
Lobster. Haddock. Fried shrimp. Lobster rolls (that's plural). Beach time. Peaks Island. Lots of reading. Tons of photos. Apple doughnuts.
Will be posting photos eventually! Any computer time I've had has been spent working on LiveStrong articles.
Tonight's the rehearsal dinner for the wedding. Not mine, hah! Joyce's nephew is getting hitched tomorrow.

maine time
We made it to Maine in three days! long but uneventful drive, which is good. It's gorgeous out here -- in the high 60s or low 70s. Which is actually kinda cold when the wind's blowing.
We've feasted on lobster rolls & crab salad sandwiches, and are about to have more lobster rolls in a little bit.
I'm blogging live (haha) from Popham State park beach. It's cold for this Missourian here, but the sun feels great. I had a tour of the Lewiston ER last night, courtesy of a whopper migraine. My Rx failed and I couldn't take the pain (or vomiting!) Any longer. The hospital drugs were groovy & I slept all night. And until 2 the next day.
I have to work tonight and Saturday morning (LiveStrong deadlines snuck up on me), then it's off to Joyce's niece's high school graduation. I'm told there will be cake! :)

Maine!
We made it to our destination late Wednesday pm! After a yummy stop at Ben & Jerry's in Vermont, we booked it for Lewiston. Liam was pretty excited about getting to his Gramma and Grampa's, and it would have broken the kid's heart if we'd stopped!
We spent Thursday enjoying the perfect weather -- spent time in the backyard pool & then had a delicious lobster boil for lunch. I could get used to this. Joyce & her mom have plans to show me the Maine coast, including a day trip to Peak Island. I can't wait -- love the ocean.
I STILL have to upload photos, and I have some cool, geeky ones to show. I got sidetracked, big-time: woke up about 4 a.m. Thursday with the flu. It's now Saturday evening & I am just starting to feel like I belong among the living. Getting sick on vacation sucks.
'Til next time. I'm going to try some Moxie tonight. Goodness knows, I need more of that.

Maine or Bust!
Greetings from Indiana! I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. My weekend turned out to be pretty interesting.
I am now on the road to Maine with Joyce and her two kids. We left bright & early this morning and are now in the Eastern Time Zone, still about 1,000 miles from our destination. We had one emergency potty break, and the most excitement we had was seeing Eddie Murphy.
Seriously. There was a van decked out with logos promoting the upcoming "Meet Dave" movie and it had a trailer with a larger-than-life model of Eddie Murphy's head. We waited & watched, but no other body parts came down the freeway. Talk about movie trailers!
Tomorrow, our goal is to make it to the Pennsylvania state line and camp somewhere. Wednesday we will begin acting more like tourists -- we plan to drive through the Adirondack mountain range and then on into Vermont.
I will try to blog (with photos) as the trip evolves.
Til next time! Lisa
