on the road again

We are about to set off on a vacation from our Vermont vacation. A two day trip to Maine! Portland, the coast? We are unscheduled and plan on just driving around looking for a nice play to stay somewhere in the Old Orchards/Portland/Freeport area. Hopefully not too close to Freeport, though of course we will have to go there to take in the outlets and the LL Bean store.

Really we just want to enjoy the coast and wander around Portland. Our friend Chanin lived there for years and it sending us some links of good places to go, and I really just want to check it out, as I’ve been there once before, many years ago, as wasn’t as taken with it as I had expected to be. So I feel like I might be in a bettter place to get it now. But we’ll see.

And I am curious about the coast because I’m not familier with the Atlantic but once we’re out here, it will be the local ocean, so I’d like to see what’s what. I think that Maine has a pretty rocky and stormy coast, which is my favorite kind, so I think it will be nice. Of course, the other thing is that I certainly won’t be finding time to make a post tomorrow, so I’ll be missing the goal once again, though I’ve been expecting this one.
