             HOW SUITE IT IS!

   My wife and I are on a journey to
Vinalhaven. It's an island about an
hour and fifteen minutes, by Ferry
Boat, off the coast of Maine. We'll
be spending a few days with my
buddy Bob. Our friendship dates
back to Grade school!
    It's a long trip so we decided to
take two full days to get there so we
might enjoy some of the scenery
(and a large Lobster Roll at Red's
Eats) along the way.
    Of course taking a couple days
means finding accommodations along
the way. Not as easy as you might
think. All of New England gets busy
with tourists at the first sign the leaves
on the trees are changing to their Fall
colors. Add to that our destination along
the coast and motels and filling up fast
and getting top dollar right about now.
     We found the "top of that dollar"
much higher than we imagined when
we stopped in the town from which our
Fairy Boat will be sailing.
      A few phone calls to other motels
in the town reveled that prices , as those
we checked, were just about identical.
       We decided to drive a bit more to
the north in hope of finding something
close enough to town at a slightly better
rate.
       We stopped at a very nice looking
Irish place and learned there was one room
left. The price was still a bit on the high side
but at least 20 dollars less than those we
saw in town. So, sight unseen, we took the
room.
       Let me rephrase that! We took the
ROOMS! Turns out we got a suite out
of the deal! Living room, bedroom,
kitchen and bath. Wifi and TV in two
rooms! Yep...how "suite" it is!
      Hope the other places aren't too
sad we turned them down.......and that
all your NEWS is good!
