| We had really thought that we
could never go on a major lighthouse trip again, due to finances
and age, physical condition. But a chance presented itself
and we went, and with a lot of help, we didn't even need to max
out our credit cards. Last Fall I was
able to get together with my sisters in Denver for my 70th
birthday. Coming home I took a bump on AirTran, had to
spend the night in Atlanta and was rewarded with two roundtrip
tickets. I had been hoping to go to Maine one more time.
Then our friends Tom and
Darlene Chisholm who we have traveled with often before, said
they would drive to Portland ME and meet us. Then Tim and
Kathy of Lighthouse Digest offered the hospitality of their home
in Maine for a few days. We were able to go out to Little
River Lighthouse and have a picnic in the keepers house.
The four of us also spent 4 days scanning archival lighthouse
photos for Lighthouse Digest. We love doing this. It
is so important that old photos and documents be digitized and
saved.
We went on to
Prince Edward Island to stay at
The Lighthouse Lovers Vacation home and travel the Island
with Carol Livingstone and visit every one of the 63 lighthouses
of PEI.
I have put up a list of the
lighthouses, and as I get time, will start showing the photos we
took.
Prince Edward
Island is just beautiful and especially so in the Fall. A
person could spend weeks just driving around, exploring the
little harbors and byways. We were so lucky to be able to
go.
I have to tell
you
The Lighthouse Lovers Vacation Home was a wonderful place to
stay. It's a beautiful big welcoming house with lots of
space. Carol and Wayne Livingstone are wonderful hosts.
If it is lobster season, you might be able to buy lobster from
the lobsterman (Wayne) at a terrific price. (I had 7
lobsters while we were there. Not all at once of course).
