2. $7.99, maybe?

I don't eat lobster, nor does my wife. However, she went shopping for it, and she seems to remember that price.

3. Where abouts?

We rented a house in Booth Bay once. Didn't realize what a great vacation it was until about 2 weeks later. I love Maine.

4. Mt. Vernon.

It's a little bit north of Augusta. Kind of between Augusta and Waterville.

10. Harbor, but no beach.

We spent a few hours in Camden, which was nice. We went to the beach a few years ago, but Maine beaches seem to be small and crowded.

7. questions

Did you travel around or did you stay in one place?

What were the temperatures?

Did you take sweaters for night time?

I'm so envious. It's been a long time since I've had a week in Maine.

9. "answers"

1. I guess it depends on how you define "travelling". :) We went to Freeport one day, Portland another, Camden another, and little trips to Waterville and Farmington.

2. Temperature was between...hmm...probably high 50s to low 80s.

3. No sweaters, but one sweatshirt, which I didn't really need. I only used it the night we went to play miniature golf, to keep the bugs off. I like the cooler weather.

11. Arcadia is so beautiful!

I love that place. For NYC 95S. You might be better off staying in CT and take Metro North in (many stops for Metro North off of 95S)

12. kinda meant

by what mode of transit. are there trains that i can catch? maybe i need to hook up with a bus to the protest. gonna be schlepping a heavy suitcase full of buttons. not a real robust person, so i am looking for the least wear and tear route.
thought about driving, cuz i could pick up several other people, but it looks like a long drive, and then i have park in manhattan.
