TB---Don't worry!By the end of July,the black fly season,will be long over.They are seasonal.They're usually a pain in the spring or early summer!They get in your eyes,ears,mouth,hair,etc.They
seem to be attracted by sweat & my wife told me that women don't sweat,they "glow"! Irish
P.S.Women also don't "fart"!I forget what word she said that
women do!

All good suggestions so far teddy. It's true about the size of the mosquito..... there's debate now in the legislature on whether or not to make it the state bird! And yes, you'll only be half way up the State of Maine! Not in the true northern Maine counties, which would be an additional 6-7 hours drive further!!!

As the resident Pixie Mainiac (what tourists usually call us Mainah's) a care package will soon be on it's way to you.

Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Northeast Hbr, Rockerfellers, carriage trails for mountain biking, hiking or horseback are all in your backyard. Please don't let the fact that occasional outsider Martha Stewart has a place near you keep you away! There's also THE CAT.... a jet powered katermaran that makes daily trips to Nova Scotia..

We've taken day sails out of Camden & Rockland & Boothbay.... we go to Boothbay almost every weekend in the summer and have wine & cheese on the rocks and watch the sailboats sail into harbor.... regulars include Walter Cronkite & Ted Kennedy (who manages to often run into other boats!

You may opt to leave the quiet of Mount Desert Island early on your last day and hit Boothbay on your way home and Old Orchard Beach would be a good stop also for the kids. It has the rides & games for the younguns but more importantly, it has a long sandy beach prob. 3/4 mile long to walk and water warm enough to stay in.....

On your way up, if you choose to stop in for a pee break, I'll take you all to the most photographed lighthouse in America, commissioned by George Washington!

Most of all, Have Phun! and enjoy our great state and leave as many tourists dollars as you can!!

Ok I have a few comments (as per usual hahahha)

First thing's first... how can a Fairy-Bird chicky like me end up with a last name of Teddy? LOL I'm no Bear Cub! hahahaha

Second- PF Did you say Lobster? mmmmmmmmmmmm Mom and Aunti are the screwy ones... dont like it... DONT KNOW WHY! MMMMMMM *drooooling already*

Third- Whats all this about bugs? mosquitoes and black flies? eww... Keep them away from me! Hurry up with a State law that says no bugs! Make it illegal for them to enter during the time my family will be up there! *nods*

Fourth- Some of these spots sound like a good time! I just dont think the family will want to travel very far for that chocy thing... Unfortunately... an hour or two might be pushing it to see an attraction but what was it 4 hrs? yuck! I'm sorry but NO- MOM I"ll Buy you some chocy... so it's free for you! hahahaha

hmmm what else did I want to say? I'll get back to yaz when I think of something! hahahaha Thanks all for the tips. Mom, the family and I appreciate them!

Fairy-Bird---When it comes to Lobster:
Most commercial fishermen,that I've worked with,will not eat them!They say that they scavenge the bottom of the sea!
Years ago,for a summer,I worked at Little Bay Lobster Co.,in Newington NH.When the live lobster,got a certain # of days old,
We would take them from their tanks,cook them,shuck them & bag the meat.When doing this(shucking,& removing meat,it was
something like-1 for the bag-2 for your mouth.Believe it or not,you
get SICK of lobster!
One holiday(Christmas &New years)I worked at Lint(sp?)Chocolates(sp?)for (approx)2/3 weeks(temp. work)& you also get
used to chocolate!I know that it's hard to picture,because I'm a
Chocoholic myself! Irish
P.S.Familiarity breeds contempt! Irish

Cooooooool house, teddy. I'm not from Maine, but I suggest you go to google.com and type in "teddy bears and maine" and choose your favorite 20 or 30 teddy bear places to visit.

sound fun for the bears and birds LOL.

Teddy told me about the family vacation in Maine and it would be fun. Even just to be around the Aunty on Mr Bears side. She is a gorgeous woman with a very sunny disposition and looks 10 years younger than she is.

They are such a great family and I will always remember them all with great affection

I know we'll have a great time! And trust me, we will leave you with plenty of the green. TY for all your help Coaster!

Irish, your wife is correct, but then I bet you knew that already. TY for the 'sick of lobster/chocolate' stories. LOL. Hard to believe but it does happen.

ohhhhh rockintime.... you DO know what I'D like to see!! Trouble is I can't picture the rest of the gang wanting to spend much time at teddy bear places. I can probably talk them into one..... now which one??

TY Grumble..... *hugggs*

(((Fairy-Bird))) my cuddly little bear cub, ..... I heard you plotting out a plan for you and the cousins involving Stephen King and Martha Stewart..... Don't even think it!!


Thanks everyone.
teddy

(((Fairy-Bird))) my cuddly little bear cub, ..... I heard you plotting out a plan for you and the cousins involving Stephen King and Martha Stewart..... Don't even think it!!


So is Fairy-Bird planning on visiting the state prison or some graveyards?

LOL.....

Something about getting King worked up and making sure Stewart was in his way. ..................She was joking.

LOL.......... hey I like the way she thinks!

A package will be in Tuesday's mail... Happy Memorial Day!
