Sunday September 8, 2019: Plans

I will be finishing my Ambrose tour and heading back home from Paris on October 14. I have nothing planned between then and November 18, when I am planning a road trip to Houston via Colorado and Phoenix. I have also learned that Maria will be finishing her business in Europe toward the end of September and heading home. She has a couple of business assignments in the US finishing on or about October 15.

I suggested to Maria that we might want to consider a road trip in mid October to observe the Fall colors. After kicking around a few ideas, we settled on a two week trip to New England. Maria wanted to make the arrangements, and she has done a splendid job.

Here are the plans as they stand right now.

• I fly into StL on October 14
• Maria flies into StL on October 15
• We fly from StL to Bangor, ME on October 17
• Rent a car at the airport and drive to Bar Harbor, ME
• Stay at the Balance Rock Inn in Bar Harbor, ME the nights of Oct 17, 18 and 19
• Balance Rock Inn
• Drive to Boston on October 20 and check the car back in at Logan Intl Airport
• Check into our Airbnb in Boston where we will stay the nights of Oct 20, 21 and 22

• Amtrak from Boston to New York City on Oct 23
• Check into our Airbnb in NYC where we will stay the nights of Oct 23, 24 and 25

It should be a fun trip!
