Lots of abandoned hotels on the Grand Island of the Bahamas.  Probably due to Atlantis bogartin' all the tourists.

Anywho, found it surprising.

I flew back from Dallas on Sunday and my girlfriend could not figure out why I was so excited to fly directly over Lawrence

Probably a great idea.  Have not been, but have heard things from canadian friends.

It is really great.  Been 5 or so times.  DO NOT GO IN THE WINTER unless you are into ice and freezing your male genitals off.

what are your thoughts on going to tokyo w/ chicat and i next year? we had a good convo about it last night at maes after i pounded a bunch of la hacienda tacos.

also, did you know that those club carlson points that everybody is getting are transferrable to BA at a 1:1.25 rate. chicat told me that and that he's going to get them, transfer them and then basically fly around the world next year. i refuse to believe that they transfer at that rate. i suppose i could check.

will be there during the 4th for a wedding and we're looking for a good way to watch the fireworks on the river.  probably with a big group and preferably (basically mandatory) somewhere we're able to drink some vino. obviously all the bars/restaurants/everything with a good view has been booked up for months.  looks like you can't bring drinks into the waterfront park.  any pros on here?

It's amazing, not the beginning of June though, rainy season in New England.  IMO Maine is the best of New England.  Best beaches and best mountains, although Mt. Washington in NH is pretty tight, but its only an hour from Portland.  Magnificent food too, and I don't even like seafood.  Clean, good shopping, amazing quality of life.  Maine is perfect in the summer and if you like snow there is plenty of skiing in the late fall, winter, and early spring.  I've spent the last 13 summers up here and I can't imagine not doing it for the rest of my life.  Not doing the winter though.  Winters in Boston were hell, I want no part of winter in Maine, skiing be damned.
