ON THE ROAD AGAIN

As Wille so aptly said it....
"On the road again,
Just can't wait to get on the road again
like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
insisting that the world keep turning our way
AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN"
ROAD TRIP- a journey via automobile

I guess driving the 22,500 miles to the Arctic Ocean last summer wasn't enough. So after overpacking the SUV again we are off and running to celebrate the open road. This year we are headed to the Eastern half of the good ol'USA on up to St. Edwards Island and Newfoundland. More family, friends, Fishers, faith and forests. Will we qualify as Professional Road Trippers? Is this the Baby Boomer version of hitchhiking? Does Dashboarding count as exercise? So glad I can pack the "extras" and not pay "extra" and so love not having to stand in line to take off my shoes to change states. Besides it's an excellent way to shed some skin and live out loud. Check out the schedule and see if you're on the trip tick. Our most valuable souvenir are the hugs and stories we can't wait to share. Look over at the archived blogs on the right side as it stores the "older" blog entries there....don't want you to miss the trip from day one!

CONFIRMED ROADIES

After last summers "once in a life time road trip" we were hooked-if bored one evening see pamelacollins.blogspot.com (North to Alaska) for sordid details. There are plenty of reasons to hit the road and celebrate America's (and Canada too!) cultural heritage and natural wonders. Although we haven't experienced the meandering version-our trip is kinda planned and suits our purpose. Our focus are the FIVE F'S (family, friends, fishers, faith, forests). With the blessing of health and time we are free to visit and experience our F's. We have also learned the way to a healthy life style on a long road trip....goal for this trip is to eat green and healthy- no more Bubba's Jerky and Corn Dogs. Bubba is even bringing his Vita Mixer. Nothing like a Slimey I mean green smoothie to start the day off. Pleep only indulges in the banana smoothies...no green for the Pleepmeister. And yes there has been a new addition to the Collins Road Family- Pleep now has a sister- Pleetisha (aka Sis). After he laid down the rules of the road to Sis and made it clear who is in charge of this rig she smiled sweetly and said "you bet Bro!" So come along for the ride- Happy Trails!

DAY 26 MAINE DOWN EAST FUN AND SPAMALOT

Out and About
The weather could not be better- must be that Bubba Karma.  Just strolling around the hood is delightful.     Most of the folks in the Anderson's hood have headed back to wherever-Boston, New York, a few Texans and even Florida.  Way too pretty to head back just yet.  Besides we haven't seen Pleep and Sis for a few days.....telling me they found friends, know their way home and they are soooo in trouble!















That lighthouse keeper goes back a forth to that island in that cable car???  Yikes!



Cliff art- come on Bubba climb out there and participate in the Community Art on the Cliffs.






Several lovely Inns...I loved this no vacancy sign.



The beach is wide...well a couple times a day.  Tide has a lot to do with your beach experience.  Feeding the seagulls is an art.  Not a sport for the timid but a way to see the birds up close and personal.




SPAMALOT AT THE OGUNQUIT PLAYHOUSE
We saw this play in New York (when it first came out 2005-Hank Azaria, Tim Curry and David Hyde Pierce)  and so enjoyed this award winning cast.  So being invited  to the local theater-Ogunquit Playhouse- my expectations were not high.  Boy was I wrong.  Oh What a Show!  Medieval merry-making with the delightfully zany Monty Python's Spamalot was fantastic.  Charles Shaughnessy (remember him from the TV's The Nanny) was our King Arthur along with one of Broadways Divas-Rachel York had us thoroughly entertained.  Real funny, real silly, real joyous...WE FOUND OUR GRAIL!  A  true regional theater- a jewel.  And the bonus to the evening was Pappa Bush and Barbara sitting a couple rows behind us.  After the standing ovation when they walked in the cast incorporated their attendance in to the play with great fun and dignity.  A good time was had by all!  And thank you John and Pat for the very fine seats.  Bubba so enjoyed the hardbody dancing babes!
