Llanfair, how long a trip do you anticipate? You'd better plan on a long one if you want to see much of this country. Your fellow Brits are always astonsihed at how far it is from one point to the next. For example, when Bill Sables, Sam Pirt and Ian -- were here I took them from Bath, Maine, to the Press Room in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. That is 1 1/2 hours one way but to us it is "just down the road aways".
