Yeah, Barbara, I can think of better times to visit Maine but one takes what one can get.

Charley, that sounds like a good idea. The way I figure it I will officially be staying at my sister's house but will be spending occasional nights elswhere so I can stay up till the wee hours catching up with old friends.

I'll check out those sites. I probably have seen them at some point, I did a lot of internet searches before deciding to come here, but you may have found a few I missed. This is a pretty neat place. It gets a pass by so many because it is so far away.

Still feeling crumby but I may be on the uphill climb out of this flu thing.
