Today we have a guest post from my cousin Greg who is on a trip to China. I wanted to share his latest email just as he wrote it. It looks like he is having a great adventure, one we might make in the

Look closely - do you see what this is? A burger with bacon and the bun is 2 Krispy Kreme doughnuts! This burger was featured on the Gothamist blog - click the photo to check it out!

As we pulled into Montreal, Tom Tom loast his signal because of the tall buildings. The poor thing had no idea where we were or where we should go. It was like having a blind guide dog, getting a bit of

Check out this dog swimming and going down the slide again and again and again!

It was 1.5 hours from the boarder to Montreal and we needed to stop for gas so we chose an exit and found a gas station. The price said $0.99! WOW, that's cheap... until you realize that's per liter

Today I want to talk to you about going Brown, it's the opposite of going Green and there is a very good reason for it, in fact there are at least 5 good reasons for it and I'm hoping you will understand

Finally we hit the line to go through customs at the Canadian border. The line took about 45 minutes and we were able to watch the US border patrol on the other side of the highway. They were turning

We were getting close to Canada on I-93, just cruising along when something went flying by. I thought it was a piece of trash except that it was yellow in color. Actually it was the same color yellow as

We dorve through the White Mountain National Forest where we saw several warnings about Moose crossings. This was great! I've still never seen a moose and with any lick we would get our chance on this

We pulled into the glass shop at 7:56 am for our 8:00 am appointment. We were the first ones there and anxious for them to get started because it was apparently a tough replacement process. At this

We woke up at 4:00 am, it was still completely dark outside and nobody else was moving around at all. We packed up quickly and walked the dogs hoping to have time for a shower at the bath house across

We know it can be tough to find a good place to eat when you are on vacation and since we live in a vacation town we are often asked where to eat. Recently, Sandra's cousin Kathy asked us where to eat

Finally it was dry, and light enough to reorganize the car. Which we did quickly before starting a dinner of black beans and yellow rice. We also were finally able to start a fire with our left over

After lunch we hit the park loop and were ready to see what this National Park had to offer. The funny thing was that we missed our turn AGAIN and wound up taking the road up Cadillac Mountain instead

So we hit Walmart again, spent $7 on new fuses and then hit Advanced Auto Parts and bought a pair of needle nosed pliers to remove the fuses. (Don't ask questions here, just understand that you don't

Today was the first day we were not breaking camp to drive to somewhere else. We were spending two nights in Bar Harbor because we wanted to see Acadia, we had been told that it was an amazing place and

The rest of our drive was fairly calm. We found our way back out of Deer Island and made it to Bar Harbor where we stopped into town to pick up some more local beers and possibly a fire log if we could

Eventually we made it to Stonington and found a little restaurant called the Harbor Cafe for lunch. I had a bacon wrapped hot dog, Sandra had a halibut wrap with lettice, tomato and cheese and Duke and

Since our next stop was only 2 hours away we made a decision to add two hours to our trip by driving to Deer Island, then to Acadia. The only problem with the drive was that the roads were pretty rough

The only problem we had was finding a parking spot, but taking a turn off of the main road we found a 3 hour spot and much less traffic. We leashed up the dogs and headed ot the shops, there was a dog
