Off to Vermont

Vermont's on my mind, our destination before Memorial Day Weekend kicks in.  We're leaving at 0:Dark Thirty for Rhinebeck, New York, where we'll stay at the Beekman Arms Inn one night going up and coming back (returning here Saturday evening).  It's the oldest continuously operated Inn in the States.  We've tried to stay there before, but this is the first time we've had any luck.

Then, it's on to the Vermont Culinary Resort.  It's in Essex, Vermont, a stone's throw from Burlington, where we went last fall.  Burlington hugs Lake Champlain and what we want to see more off.  It's an amazing, pristine area that tugs at one's imagination.

We made reservations some time ago and were lucky to get rooms.  The New England corridor seems to be jam-packed, like it was in the fall.  Then, again, New Orleans was booked solid a couple of weeks ago with the Jazz Festival.

Sorry this is such a rushed post, but I got hung up with my WIP's second draft and probably pushed my luck with the ticking clock.  It may be for the best my NetBook sacrificed for the cause and the trip will be minus a computer.  OMG, do gadgets have so much power I have to think of being without them?  Hmm, thoughts for another day.  We've got an early way-up.

Hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend.  See you next week.  Love ya!  Kittie

Have an awesome trip! Sacrificing NetBooks for WIPs? It is so worth it.
