Is Bar Harbor near Kennebunk? A friend of mine and her wife own this restaurant:

Not particularly but it is on the way up. My sister has a place in Ogunquit which is just about ten miles down the road from Bunkie. This place looks great. I will check it out sometime.

That was very difficult for we Americans in Spain. Plus, I was a vegetarian at the time, so I basically ate gazpacho and bread. But what an amazing country.

Nice lodging info, thanks.

We are only in Paris for 2-3 days, so those weekly rentals won't work for us.

Our stay in Paris is so brief as it is just a stopover on our way to Réunion Island.

Noice!

I love Spain. Haven't been there since 2010 and I need to go back soon.

Flight is booked for 2 weeks from today to the left coast for 3 days/nights camping in Yosemite National Park. My college roomie is throwing his 40th b'day/"Hooray! My Ugly Divorce is Final" early-midlife crisis debauchery bash with a dozen other well-wishers, including some friends I haven't seen in eons. With enough booze and drugs in-tow to melt the Sierra Nevada into a puddle of carbonaceous fizz. Hopefully the main road into the park won't be on fire by then...because it totally is right now.


Hmm...1.1 million square miles of wilderness. That's a lot of places to hide a body dump. :shifty:

Welp...smoke from the Pyromania '18 festival this weekend officially closed the campgrounds I was due to stay at because of unbreathable air from a fire line that's only 20 miles away. So Cali vacation in just 2 days got a whole lot more interesting. We're trying for a Plan B campsite in wine country (which, yes, is ALSO on-fire) on Clear Lake. Lots of cancellations there since there's about 30,000 acres en flambé about 20 miles west, but at least a cooperating wind. It'll smell like victory, for sure.

Plan C is taking a longest-ass drive up to the Redwoods where my friend has some connections at a resort he used to work at to maybe bum a cabin outside the national forest...which is 200 miles from the nearest fire but you never know which hippie who fell asleep with a blunt will make for a new ground zero.

If all else fails, Plan D is to bum around the Bay Area for 4 days. It's not on-fire, but I heard there's a Dunkin Donuts in Fremont now so Hoyworld may well be consumed by a firenado after I'm done mocking NoCal tech-brahs' excruciating slow ordering habits. :shifty:



So far I've been told that if I don't hear otherwise in the next 48 hours to pack "for city or country". Which should be interesting since the flight to Oakland only allows 1 carry-on and I have to lug it for 6 blocks from my apartment, on a bus, on an MBTA commuter train, on a Logan Airport shuttle, on an Oakland Airport shuttle, on a BART train, and for another 6 Oakland city blocks en route...so I was kind of hoping to pack light.

Meh. Either way I'm going to be drunk/high as fuck for the duration. Maybe drunk/high breathing in the ash from a million broken dreams...maybe drunk/high circling Hoy's block at night with the lights off in a Hertz rental KILLvan. Either way there will be death and pestilence. :twisted:

But will it be on fire when you leave? Or is the prairie so bereft of vegetation that the only flammable material to arson are the tractor parts littering your former neighbor's front lawn?

My family in close quarters is more destructive (of my sanity, self-respect, hope for the future) than any fire.
