Bangor, ME

Traffic in Maine sure moves along...

And in the hotel pool are some friends from Blandford.

CT for lunch

More like brunch; Denny's.

Geesh - I think we spent over $20 in road tolls just to get from NJ, through NYC, to CT.

We took the Verrazano Narrows Bridge route. It provided some fantastic views of Manhatten on the way past.

NYC - one day tour

We visited the Statue of Liberty first. From leaving the hotel in Linden, NJ to reaching the island took five hours. Massive line-ups to buy tickets and then to board the boats.

We then walked up to see the WTC rebuilding site.

Then Times Square.

1000+ km drive today

Reached northern North Carolina.

We found a nice hotel at a reasonable price; the RoomSaver coupon book is still working its magic.

Deric is presently in the pool and actually swimming (across the pool, without holding on) for the first time ever.
