2009 in review

I don’t even know where to start with 2009.  It’s been a rollercoaster year of trying to figure out my life and myself.  I’ve had a difficult time staying positive about most things because there always seems to be a downside to everything. It’s been a year of discovering changes, meeting a lot of new […]

stuff

I’m back from Maine.  I drove 12 hours straight to get home on Saturday.  Just really tired from driving long periods of time for over 2 weeks.  I’ve been really busy trying to catch up on things after being gone for a while and preparing to head off again in less than a month, all […]

seashore autumn tales

My trip to Maine is turning out to be exactly what I needed.  Honestly, I am not looking forward to going back to Philly.  I am enjoying this nice quiet life for a change.  Maybe it just means that I’m getting old.  Oh well.

Jordan Pond

My first day consisted of some grocery shopping (complete with Maine Blueberry Jam), a hike around Jordan Pond, a little drive off the beaten path where I discovered some enormous houses, and an amazing dinner at a French Bistro in Bar Harbor.

Road Trip

Day 6: New Hampshire and Home

First of all, I’ve gotten word from a couple of people that comments are not working. Supposedly it hangs and doesn’t go through? Is anyone else having problems?
So Monday night’s sleep was quite nice until those damn cleaning people woke me up by knocking on the door at the ass crack of dawn. […]

Day 5: Last day on Mt. Desert Island

Monday pretty much sucked. My second night of camping was not the greatest. I finally managed to fall asleep after the tick fear incident, but then I woke up at 1 am to what I thought was some large scary animal making noise not so far from my tent. That large scary […]

Day 4: A Cold and Rainy Day

First of all, I finally added some photos to the Day 2 post.
My first night of camping on Saturday night was awesome. It was cold, but I loved it and slept like a log for the most part. I woke up a couple of times because my sleeping bag was so warm that […]
