Expectations

With the summer half over we are taking a long look at the prospects of a good vacation trip in the coming weeks ahead. Our mother in law is having her yearly trip to New Brunswick for a visit to her family and friends. As she is almost 93, all of her siblings have passed away but she has long term friends in extended family and one sister in law with whom she will stay. Flying alone unassisted at her age is a little challenging, but she manages well.

While she is away we will have some time to ourselves and plan small trips for golf in our geographic area for a week. After this we begin our Maritime tour with a visit to friends in Cape Breton. This year we intend to visit the White Mountains on the way down and have a few days of golf. We love the countryside along Route 2 through Vermont, New Hampshire and running into Maine.

Our class reunion this year is a little special as it is our 55Th and is getting smaller each year. I believe we are the only class that has had a reunion every year since graduation. This year we are adding two extra days to be together before the formal reunion. The little town of Parsboro will be our host and on the dock there is a sign that tells of the highest tides in the world with regular tide of 58 feet. In the spring and fall on the full moon it often reaches 66 feet. It is a wonder of the world and it a fitting venue for we to hold our get-togethers as we like the tide rise up to the occasion of re-uniting with our friends.

Planning your free time is almost as good as the actual journey, but this year we feel our journey will meet all our expectations.
