Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

A Visit with a Dear Friend

We are up early and ready to get out of there. Our friends live in a retirement community which is very lovely. Unfortunately Edna had to be moved out off their gracious cottage to the Alzeimer's living quarters a few months ago and we really don't know what we will encounter. We ended up having a terrific time...While her memory may not be what it used to be...she still had this undeniable spunk that I always loved. The visit seemed to do all of us a world of good.

The drive to Bar Harbor is thankfully uneventful. The view from our site at Narrows Too RV Resort in Trenton Maine, is stunning. Definitely go for an ocean site if you visit. This is another place that exists for the views only. Little else to offer. The tide is out and the uncovered landscape interesting.

We know that we need to have lobster tonight. Find a great place Down East Lobster Co. on Bar Harbor Rd. in Trenton. Their take out dinner includes two 1 3/4 pound lobsters, two dozen mussels, corn on the cob and coleslaw...all for $40...great deal and great tasting.
