What a week!

We are starting this blog mainly for Sarah to read so that she can keep up to date with our holiday.
Hi Sarah! If you are reading this then it must have worked. This is our first posting and we shall try to keep it up to date over the next couple of weeks as we travel around Maine. However tonight we are not nearly ready to start our trip. Nothing new there of course. We still have 40hrs left before we have to leave for Manchester so we have hardly begun to think about what we need to do.
Already this week we have had a very significant birthday for Mum and then a very significant graduation for Ruth and tomorrow we have a very significant wedding for Martin and Louisa so getting packed for Maine has had to wait in the queue.
The weather for the month of June has been abysmal in the UK and tomorrow does not look much better so we are not expecting a very summery wedding. I hope that we are wrong and that the sun shines. We will let you know when we create a post all about the wedding.
Then on Sunday we will give Maine our full attention. We will drive to Manchester and stay near the airport ready to fly on Monday morning. We are looking forward to being in Boston for the 4th of July and then making our way to Tripp Lake to see Sarah.

I hope that we can add some pictures as we go along and that we will be able to tell you about the interesting things that happen as we go. We will take a laptop with us on holiday and hope to get wireless internet in our motels.
