Family trip is over, thus the only things I'm looking forward to now as far as vacations go is MAINE! Less than a month away, I decided to "schedule" out the trip for those that are coming. In the cut is the list of activities, fees I know for sure, and things to bring.
This schedule is a rough break down of activities we can do and what days. I get this vacation scheduling for my mother. I want it to be organized so we aren't wondering what we are going to do, so this will at least help and give you an idea of what there is.
I talked to Jess yesterday and she really wants to see Jennette. Jennette lives an hour and a half east from Bangor, so we'd have to drive the hour from Ellsworth + the 1 and 1/2. I thought we'd leave sometime on Saturday just to save two nights worth of a hotel fee if it's possible to check out earlier (remind me to call Eagle's Lodge to have them email me my rates and confirmation @_@). We'd have to leave earlier from Jennette's to catch our flight home, but I think it's doable?
The tours and museum visits probably have a fee, I'll double check on those. I don't imagine them being more than $10 a person.
Tammy, can I get your flight itinerary so I know what gate to pick you up at?
