Taking advantage of New Hampshire

Posted on by

Living in the small state of New Hampshire all 28 years of my life, I just realized how little of the state I really have visited.

Outside of a couple of youth hockey games when I was 7 or 8 in Berlin, I never been north of the White Mountains. Never been in the Great North Woods, never been to Pittsburg, NH. Along the same lines, outside of visiting Keene every year or two, I have no idea what towns are around that city and what is in them. I don’t recall ever being in the Rochester area either.

Until four years ago, I had never been at the top of Mount Washington. Tomorrow, I am returning via a trip on the Cog Railroad, which once again I have never been on before. Afterwards we are going to the Mount Washington Hotel to have a late lunch. Only a few weeks ago did I see the hotel for the first time.

Update on cruise

Posted on by

Looks like Belize, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman all survived Hurricane Dean with minimal damage. All of them should start seeing cruise ships again in the next couple of days.

Costa Maya is another story. Early reports suggest that the port’s dock is wrecked and there was extensive flooding. Doubt any cruise ship will go there in the next few months. Maybe Carnival will replace Costa Maya with another stop somewhere else, although it is too bad since I heard great things about this port.

So all in all, Katie and I’s honeymoon cruise is pretty much intact.

Best wishes to those who were in the path of the hurricane. Hopefully they are all safe.
