Mrs H wants to go northeast for our next trip. She's got Mysic, CT on
the mind for some reason. One of her friends mentioned it as a nice
place to visit. Anyone know anything about the place?

Also, we plan to take a trip to Maine for a week sometime later this
summer. Mrs H would like to go on a whale watching excursion. Any info
on Maine out there? I've been to Acadia National Park, by motorcycle,
but the weather was too bad to get all the way to the top of the hill
at the park. Maybe it would be worth a visit.

Ideas?

Well, if you are at all interested in wooden boats or maritime history you
could happily spend a few days (weeks, months) or so at Mystic Seaport.
The big draw in that neighborhood is a casino, though - that is what most
local hostelries are geared for. It's been far too many years since I
visited Acadia, though I imagine if you wanted to you could devise an
itinerary that hit several boatbuilders along the way.

The seaport sounds great. Neither of us are into gambling.

Thanks for the info, Jim. I'll keep it.

Could swing by Woodstock CT and maybe see a Ham radio with it's own
dedicated generator...

Anything and everything. Seaport, Aquarium, Groton, Watch Hill and
environs - plenty to see and do.

I'd be glad to be a tour guide.

Might even take a little boat ride if you have the time - we can head
out towards The Race, around Fisher's Island and up to Point Judith or
over towards Montauck.

Now that's an offer that would be very hard to refuse! I've no idea
yet of when this will be in the works, or whether this will be a
weekend shot to Mystic or part of a longer trip up to Maine. I'll
surely keep in touch as we firm up plans.

Thanks!

Hey John, you should get with Tom and I when you come up... You could
spend a day in Essex too, and hit Mystic the next morning. Downtown
Essex on the water is great in the summer, especially on a weekend.
The Grizwold Inn is a great place to eat, you can have Sandwiches at
Olive Oyl's by the water... The Essex Steamtrain and Ferry ride from
Deep River to the Shoreline and back is pretty cool too... If in
Mystic I would certainly suggest the Aquarium, and the Seaport. If
anything, we should all get together for dinner somewhere or a bbq at
my place.
