for a few days before I move on to visit a friend in Vancouver, and was

I'm basically interested in knowing if there are cheap places to stay

My girlfriend and I going to spend 10 days in Maine, Vermont and

I just returned from a 9-day trip to the Yosemite-Lake Tahoe region.
Here are some of my hightlights.
Day 1 - Travel from Atlanta to Oakland on JetBlue.  Flying JetBlue is

My wife and I will be travelling to Windsor (by car) in the next few

Got those deals from http://edealseek.com
Think it will be nice to share them with the public. There are direct
links on the website.

Are there actual street addresses for the plantations along River

Trying to put together a two-week itinerary...
Thanks!

My wife and I are considering taking a 3- or 4-day vacation sometime
in October.  We plan to fly into Boston and then drive to Vermont,

in Maine? Nice means quite, a lot of space between the tent places
and if possible on the coastline or in the forest.
TIA,
