Taylor's off to Bangor, Maine

A first, well, maybe not the first, but close. We are going away for the week-end and we actually booked a hotel in advance. I know, it is not as much fun as driving around at midnight looking for a place and trying not to get mugged (Miami last spring) but I guess I am getting older and not up for as much adventure.

I found our hotel online using and it turned out to be a nice hotel and a pretty good price. Mind you, Bar Harbour is something of a ghost town in the winter and the majority of the hotels were closed till spring.



We are 100 km away from the border and it was another 180 km to the hotel. It was 7:30pm by the time we arrived in our room. The pool closed at 9pm so we dashed down to the pool for a quick swim before heading out to supper.




Even though it was a Friday, the restaurants that were open in Bar Harbor stopped serving food at 9pm. We ended driving till to Ellesmere and eating at Friendly's and then back and off to bed. We all need to be rested for a big shopping day tomorrow.
