I'll play along but since Maine is where I call home, it's hard to think of it as a vacation destination!!

One of our favorite "touristy" things to do in the summer is a cruise on Casco Bay Lines....

Yes, Amalie's vehicles are in top shape, always!! We have never had an issue with any of them breaking down. The superior customer service by far outweighs the money saved by another company. My husband timed us this past trip...exactly 18 minutes from getting off the plane to driving out of the air...

After just spending 12 days, we could easily have stayed a few more days for a full 2 weeks. The boys were ready to come home after 8 days..... :?

This whole thing stinks of corruption at the highest levels. We should ask to see bank statements from the director and all legislators involved. This has kick-back written all over it.
