Trip Recap

We're back. None of the worries came to pass -- even the government shutdown didn't affect us. The national park stayed open and the TSA lines were fine on our flight home. The flights couldn't have been smoother -- on time, 2 hours, no issues. 

Maine is wonderful. Bar Harbor and Ogunquit -- both happy, liberal areas, especially Ogunquit. Beautiful by the ocean. Bar Harbor was more touristy and 2 of the days had big cruise ships docked so hundreds of people in town all day. Not our cup of tea, but we spent our days at Acadia National Park. 

We managed a quick brunch in Boston for most excellent food in a little hole in the wall. Overall a great time. Here are some pictures.

Our room at an Inn in Bar Harbor was incredible and charming. Gourmet breakfast served every day.

We stopped for lunch heading up to Bar Harbor. Everything coastal, charming, cool weather.

Did shopping along the way. This is the oldest bookstore in Maine -- got a couple of books. I need to take pictures of my trip books -- read 4 books and all were good. Stay tuned. 

Our "Inn" in Ogunquit was actually a motel, but it was nice. Great location and just stayed one night (the night we were supposed to go to Canada to visit my aunt and uncle). We were able to meet them in Maine for a brunch before we drove south since they crossed the border for a doctor's appointment. Did I mention my uncle had 2 strokes a few weeks ago -- that's why our change of plans. 

Anyway -- this is long so I'll end it here. More to catch up on tomorrow. I'm up early for a hike with the club.

Have a good day. Later gators.
