The cloudy sky this morning didn't look too ominous. We drove the short journey back to Portland and arrived too early to check in to our hotel, so went over to the Maine Mall.
Remember the last time we went there? Yes, Sarah was with us and it was absolutely chucking it down. We hadn't been in there long when an almighty crash of thunder told us it was doing it again. Nothing for it, then, but to continue round the shops till the rain eased.....
Ruth now has new Rocket Dog sneakers (£10) and Mum has sensible winter shoes (£10) and Dad has a couple of trendy polo shirts (£7). Ha! They don't call us the Big Spenders for nothing. Actually they don't call us that - that's those other Christies. We did splurge on mini Cinnabons (between us) and Ruth and Mum had manicures so are extremely well groomed by usual standards.
Off to the hotel then and we're now faced with the prospect of repacking everything to get it on the plane tomorrow. Boo Hoo. The thunder and lighting are roaring round us still and we're hoping everyone at Tripp Lake is under shelter!
The next blog entry will probably be from back home and will round off this journal of nonsense. Of course, we're secretly hoping Sarah will have caught the Blog Bug and will do one when on her travels! If not, then postcards please to the usual address!
Boogie Boogie Bummery Whoop! (We're sure that's the camp cheer, as told to us by Sarah - yes??)
