We had actually given up on coming down this year (its been 3 years since we've been) but just couldn't pass this up. I can already feel the sun on my shoulders. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

Sugarae. 2 degrees out here in Bridgton. We arrive on island April 18th. Can't wait to walk Orient Beach in the early morning hours. These next weeks are going to drag by.....

Just don't go back and keep checking, sometimes it just makes you feel bad.<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Doh.gif" alt="" /> Flying out of Portland on the 29th! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Banana.gif" alt="" />
