Yes ma'am, I'll see if I can find it. I'll have to do it from my phone as these work computers won't let me get on Ebay. Can't imagine why....
My trip to Maine this weekend, I want your input!!

I agree. I would love a signed anything, but I'd never buy one. First thats just givivng in to greed pores. Second, I want it signed to me in front of me. Like you, I'd leave to someone who would cherish it as much as I would.I know it's par for the course these days and it's a sad fact of life that these people do this. It just irritates me to no end. I live here and can't go yet this person is coming from North Carolina only to make a profit. I'm not trying to sound whiny here(which is exactly what it sounds like, lol) but only to state that that should be a treasured item. I have two signed books and they will either be buried with me or willed to someone who will keep them and cherish them as I do. So I also don't mean to sound greedy but there are many of us out there who want to go to these for the memory or to have the book for ourselves. I honestly wouldn't even care about having another signed book but these seem to be the only way to meet him these days. I can't seem to ever "happen to run into him" in Bangor!
I imagine things like this MUST drive both you and him crazy but you're both probably used to it by now. Another sad thing.
No matter what you do make time for dinner along the coast. Outdoors overlooking the beauty that is Maine. Get yourself a nice lobster dinner with all the fixings and a nice cold beer to wash her down with. A memory that will last a lifetime to be sure.
I hear there's some creepy stuff happening on the coastal islands, bodies in wells, kids vanishing in storms....
Without a doubt I plan to take in a local lobster dinner, and there are so many great brewery's there in Maine I plan to visit at least two.
Sea Dog!!! You're not in Maine until you have a Blue paw. Shipyard in Portland is great as well.
Good point. Machine?....you may want to stick to the "maineland."
Ill take my chances.
Maine Brewing Co. And Shipyard those are the two I planned on visiting.
Machine you will need a designated driver. Because he can hit up The Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth before getting on I95.
Of course there will be pictures
Yes, the one I saw said shipping from NC. Maybe a shark will get 'em before Sunday (sorry, that was kinda mean but it had to be said)
When I spoke to the guy at the bookstore when I purchased my tickets, he was surprised I was coming up from MD. He mentioned that someone was coming from NC as well, shame its just to sell and not value the experience. It is impossible to stop this kind of thing, and honestly it only bothers me because it takes the experience away from a true fan.
Thank you for the suggestion. I just looked up Bar Harbor and it looks pretty amazing. As for the tour, I was considering it, the guy (Stu) sounds like he is well versed and would be a great tour guide, but I am a kind of explore on my own pace kinda guy. I still may do it, just undecided. I feel like I can pretty much see what he's going to show me on my own.
If you're going to be in Bangor you need to go to the Sea Dog. Seriously. Sit out on the balcony if you can and view the Penobscot river while drinking a Blue paw.
Totally agree with you. And I'm glad(while not glad it was listed)that I wasn't seeing things on that Ebay listing! Which is now gone.
I've always wanted to check out the Redhook Brewery!
Eh, I think I will pass on the Redhook, not a fan. But there are so many other great craft beer brewers in ME, I could make a trip of that alone. Allagash is another.
Duly Noted, these are the kind of suggestions I was looking for!! Thank you!!
South of Mt Desert Isle (where bar Harbor and Acadia are) is Deer Isle. There is a town called Stonington there. It's a mostly untouched fishing village on the coast. There is a restaurant there called the Fisherman's Friend. Great food. And a very cool little town. The drive there is also beautiful. Definitely worth a visit if you can fit it in.
And Lake Pushaw is also very pretty and worth a visit. Orono is a cool little town as well.
Thank you, I plan on trying to take in as much scenic driving as possible. I will put this on my list and hope I can fit it in.
