Kennebunk Maine Lodging

Resolved Question: Winter lodge in the Northeast?

I live in Boston and I would like to get out of the city in December to a mountain lodge or a cottage for a week. Areas I am interested in are New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. I am looking for something secluded and quiet. I don't need shopping and I don't need a lot of people either. I'm not looking to ski, just to be a hermit for a week, relax with a good book by a fireplace. A nearby car rental or bus accessibility is important too.

Resolved Question: How to plan a cross-country road trip?

My 3 best friends and I are going to go on a HUGE cross-country road trip. (D.C, down south, up a little, head west, go up the CA coast-line, across the north, the great lakes, Niagara Falls NY, all the way up to Maine and back) < in a nutshell. We are planning on 45 days give or take. We need information on: -cost (how much per person in general, and then individual items, such as; gas, meals, lodging and such) -packing -raising and saving money - any good music you think should be on a "road trip play list" (doesn't have to be your basic "life is a highway" stuff though) -and please, please, please... 3 of us need help on how to deal with that one friend that thinks it is a stupid idea and only wants to go because she doesn't want to be left behind. She thinks her parents are going to pay for it (which defeats the whole point of our "freedom") and she complains like no other! We need help.... Thank you!

We live in MI and travel al ot to Maine and New York and all the other east coast states a lot. all the gas, food and lodging is paid out of pocket with some help of money we make playing gigs. We also put out a CD last year and paid for Merchandise to sell like Shirts and buttons.

Resolved Question: What should I do for my wedding theme?

Ok me and my fiance are getting married in the Mountians of Nevada at a lodge/hotel on December 1st 2009. I have been putting off deciding on the theme and I know my poor planner is getting mad. But I just cant make up my mind. We live on the east coast and my favorite place in the world is Maine with all of the wonderful lighthouses and fishing boats. We spend every summer up there. So of course a natical theme was brought up. My other favorite thing is Chrsitmas. I love the whole feeling of the season. Its so wonderful and where we are getting married there will be snow. So my planner said maybe a winter wonderland theme. Both go with the dress I picked out which is white with a blue strip at the bodice and bottom. I just cant make up my mind between two things I love so much. What do you guys think? I never have done christmas in the red and green I always liked the blue, silver and white better. Those have been our colors from the start.

Resolved Question: Why is this Ron Paul senior aide & Bob Barr aide pleading for Libertarians to vote McCain/Palin?

FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE, SOCIALLY TOLERANT, PRO-DEFENSE! November 2, 2008 I have been a lifetime Libertarian Party activist, for over 25 years. I’ve served in numerous capacities, including on the Libertarian National Committee, as a Libertarian State Rep. candidate, and as Ron Paul’s Personal Travel Aide in his 1988 Libertarian Presidential campaign. I’ve also served as Ron Paul’s Congressional Campaign Coordinator and as his Senior Congressional Aide for 7 years, 1997-2004. This election year, I’ve been supporting Libertarian Presidential candidate Bob Barr. As a matter of fact, I’m the very guy who recruited his running mate Wayne Root into the race. Since the Spring, I’ve been the Party’s lead petitioner around the Nation. I’ve collected tens of thousands of signatures to get Barr/Root on the ballot in Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine and Rhode Island. However, I was greatly encouraged by McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin for his VP. Palin has a solid libertarian background. In 2005/06 she was the guest speaker at two Libertarian Party meetings in Anchorage. She Up until now, I’ve encouraged my fellow Libertarians to follow their conscience and vote for either McCain/Palin or for Barr/Root, if it suits them better. I now believe, two days before Election Day, that this campaign is just too critical to risk on such a strategy, and if Libertarians won’t put the liberty of our country ahead of our party ambitions, who else in this country will? Obama is fundamentally opposed to virtually all libertarian stances on all issues. From taxes, to freedom of speech, to protecting property rights, to putting a halt to the ever-encroaching Nanny-state, and 4 years of an Obama Presidency will have disastrous results for liberty, and supporters of the limited government view. As evidence of this, Obama has taken to lodge a full frontal assault on the libertarian movement within the last couple days. In two separate speeches Obama accused McCain/Palin of supporting tax cuts because they believed in the “Virtue of Selfishness." ABC News confirmed that the phrase was most likely a direct hit at libertarian icon Philosopher Ayn Rand. By attacking Individualist philosophy, in essence, Obama has declared war on libertarians and the libertarian movement in these closing days of Election ‘08. How should libertarians respond? It is now my strong feeling that libertarians nationwide, and most assuredly my fellow Libertarian Party members, should strongly consider casting their votes for Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin. The libertarian movement would be best served with an Obama defeat. Bob Barr has been polling around 1 to 1.5% in recent polls. A Research 2000/Daily Kos poll released just Friday, had Barr at a full 2%. That is more than enough to cause McCain/Palin to go down to defeat. As we all know, a good 90% of Libertarian votes come directly out of the GOP column. I urge my Libertarian friends, especially those in “swing states” to shift these final days to McCain/Palin. Those States that are especially critical include: New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada. McCain/Palin lead Obama/Biden in the latest poll out of Wyoming with 68% to 32%. A Libertarian vote cast for Barr/Root in Wyoming, or even Utah, Idaho, Alabama, Kansas, and my native Texas, would not cause any harm. But Libertarians in the critical swing states must now weigh their vote very seriously and with great caution. Do we want a guarantee of tax increases for virtually all taxpayers, more federalization of education, more pork barrel spending, and continuation of affirmative action quotas, a return of the so-called Fairness Doctrine intended to silence the voice of libertarians and conservatives across the nation? Or, do we want a friendly ear in a confirmed Libertarian Party friend and ally in the office of the Vice-Presidency of the United States. For these reasons, I am voting for McCain/Palin on Tuesday and I urge all of my Libertarian friends to do the same. Our party has made great gains and that is important. Nobody in the libertarian movement has worked harder than I have to assure those gains. But at this moment in history, we must stand with our conservative friends, against a massive affront upon liberty and freedom itself. I call upon all freedom loving libertarians to consider this situation carefully and stand with me! Eric Dondero LIBERTARIANS FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE, SOCIALLY TOLERANT, PRO-DEFENSE!

Resolved Question: How much Money (£££) would I need If I wanted to spend 2 months visiting the following US places ?

The idea being, every year or so, visit 2 or 3 states - like start off with Maine, New Hampshire and then Massachusits.. etc etc I'd like to know what would be the best, most exciting and fun way to planning such a trip - and also the best £££ saving tips to do such an expedition. I'd go with 4 friends of mine, so it would be 5 of us in total and we'd all chip in for hotel/motel/lodging inn rents , car hiring, etc etc. We are keen on doing a 'road trip' orientated US trip, but we are kind of short sighted and gullible fools and the fact that only 2 of us are males means we are extra vulnerable from nasty locals heh. So keeping in mind the reduced intelligence levels, awareness and vulnerability levels of having 3 females with us, what would be your recommendations on such a trip ? is it feasible at all ? do-able ? or VERY expensive ? Should I put off the girls and replace them with 3 male mates ? after all, 5 males make a powerful unit - each male replaced with a female makes us 'less productive' in various ways heh. get back to me on this folks. hmm. oh look...a 'Report Abuse' button, i wonder I could do with that :-)
