  1. You know, when you crossed that bridge you were about 4 miles from alpacas, sheep, and puppy snogs. Maybe next time I won’t be a third of the way ’round the globe.

    1. From your mouth to God’s ear, darling…..
      and I hope next time the boys in the family can come too!

  2. For some reason I thought you were road tripping to Portland, Oregon. When I saw the 800 miles, it was like a smack upside the head- Duh, Maine!

    So be thankful you did not have to listen to One Direction (and how embarrassing you are) for 6,000 miles!

    Maine is wonderful, by the way, isn’t it?
