1. Bangor - check out http://www.famousshoes.com/
fabulous prices on shoes - I got a pair of New Balance sneakers for 44.00

Untitled - have no idea what to call this.
1. Most american restaurants have a sign at the entrance that ask folks, in respect to the other diners, to turn off their cell phones... great idea..
2. We saw many motorcycles in Maine - almost noone wears helmets - wild!!
3. Why aren't there any Kohl's stores in Canada?
4. Did you know that a small coffee at Tim in Maine is the size of our medium and that their extra large is very large! and their muffins are not as good as Canadian muffins.
5. Of all the stores and shops we visited only 1 or 2 had push button doors - it makes getting in and out of places a bit tricky at times.

Day 6 - Round 2 at Kohl's
This morning we had a message when we went into the inn for breakfast. The ladies from the parade called and wanted our email to keep in touch. We told them we wanted to go to Savannah, Georgia someday and that we should keep in touch. They didn't come to the fireworks as they were tired - they had been cruising all day. I thought that was so neat - we made some new friends.
Checkout was at 11:00 - we left unwillingly at 10:57....
Stopped at a great restaurant on the way to Bangor called Sarah's place.
Got a room for a great price on priceline auction - Fairfield, Marriot - nice room.
And did Round 2 at Kohl's - Lulu tried to talk us out of it - but we were too determined. Went to another store called Famous shoes - got a pair of New Balance for $40. Going home tomorrow....
Will post links to my tripadvisor reviews in a separate post.

Day 5 - Fireworks
Woke up this morning and it was pouring rain. We had breakfast at the inn - fabulous - fresh fruit, homemade granola, and banana flambé french toast with a brown sugar sauce - it just can't be described. After breakfast I we sat in the living area with some other guests chatting and I showed Carolyn how to play crib.
We went out for lunch and the rain let up. We spent the afternoon visiting little craft shops. We lined up for a street parade and met 2 great ladies from Atlanta, Georgia. They were so nice. I was standing behind Carolyn's wheelchair and one of them went off to find me a chair from the public area. We chatted through the whole parade and we invited them to come to our B&B to watch the fireworks.
We spent the evening outside at the inn - Carolyn reading a book and I playing online poker. The fireworks were amazing. 50 or more folks - guests and friends of the innkeeper were there to watch. What fun. We met a couple who just got married - their combined families add up to 5 kids and there is another on the way - wow!!
We have to leave tomorrow - and we don't want to.... and we decided to spend the night in Bangor and can you believe it - do more shopping.... well I got another coupon from Kohl's... and I don't want to drive all the way home in one sitting.. :)

Day 4 - Boothbay Harbor
Wow, I hope heaven is like this - our B&B is on top of a hill overlooking the harbor (harbour in Canada - LOL).
This town is so quaint. We had a lunch at a great restaurant on the way here just outside of Augusta. Tomorrow there is a parade of schooners coming to boothbay and fireworks tomorrow night. We will be able to watch it all from the lawn of the B&B.
Lulu was a bit confused this morning trying to get through double-laned roundabouts - she just wasn't on her game. Good thing we are only getting single laned roundabouts on PEI. I hope her next owner is not to harsh with her. (the lease on my van is up at the end of the month so Lulu (built in GPS) is leaving us - we will miss her).
Goodnight
