Re: Vacations During the summer or Off Season

I will be traveling to San Francisco (business + a few days on my own), Cape Cod, MA, and mid-coast Maine.

Maine is the prettiest place in the world, if the weather is cooperating, in midsummer. SF is my favorite US city, well, maybe after Manhattan.

Some years ago we vacationed in Maine. I was amazed at what a gorgeous state it is.

I don't think there is a bad time to go, do which ever works best for you and have a great time! Personally, I like shoulder season, less crowds (usually). I recommend Maui Revealed as a good guide book.

I have 3 Maui books but not Maui Revealed. I lived on Oahu for 3 years but only have been to Maui once and absolutely fell in love. Nothing like it.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Love Lahaina. A druggie asked me for a cigarette and I told her I only smoke weed (as a joke) and the she asked for that instead. Love that big tree at the center.

I just like the name, it looks so pretty there and the Eagles sang about it. I do like to body surf though.

btw: you seem like you would be cool to hang out with...meant to post that on the other thread

I hadn't been to Maine since I was a young girl, but 4 years ago we had a Family Reunion w/ all of the cousins (and spouses) and their kids in York, Maine. I was the only Grandma (or Grandpa) of the 22 cousins! The only surviving Aunt was there too - we had a wonderful pic taken of the 4 generations at the Lobster Restaurant we met at. We stayed for 2 days and had a blast. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

I agree I love that Eagles song yet I love all Hawaiian words. Thanks for the complement. I have to say a little of me goes a long way. After 20 minutes you could be sayin "what was I thinking!' but thanks.
