Travel Observations

• It is a long way from La Habra, California to Mt. Desert Island, Maine.


• The word 'beautiful' can be overused, as can the phrase 'Look at that!'


• We grow a lot of corn in America.


• White is the only color of house paint sold in New England, or at least mostly white.


• Sight seeing all day on foot makes for sore feet and tired limbs but great memories.


• The Eastern side of the United States is filled with forest, sometimes blocking the view.


• New England clam chowder tastes even better when eaten in a fishing village on the East coast.


• Chocolate chip ice cream is also very good on the East coast.


• There are not any Dodger or Angel fans here that we've discovered.


• Just because a trip is planned to New England in the fall doesn't mean the leaves will turn color on schedule.


• It is possible to spend 24/7 with your spouse and still be in love.


• Bringing along your own pillow is a good idea.


• Bringing along too many clothes makes your suitcase heavy.


• Gas prices are about the same all the way across the country.


• There is road work being done on every highway in America.


• This is a beautiful country and well worth the time and effort required to see it the slow way, by driving.
