Maine!

I would like to start off this blog by stating that this morning I walked along the beach and admired the Atlantic Ocean on a beautiful sunny day.  Sound familiar?  It turns out that the Ocean is beautiful regardless of temperature, and although it was below freezing during my walk, it was still just as beautiful a sight as in the Caribbean.  A great start to my day!  Now, let's backtrack to our journey to this point!


On New Years Day, Andee and I packed up our car and started on our 12 hour road trip to Portland, Maine, where Andee's next step of schooling continues!  We will be in Maine for 5 months while Andee attends classes and hospitals required for his MD!  Quite a change from St. Kitts, but we were excited to get settled in our new condo in Old Orchard Beach, Maine (that's right, a condo on the beach.....looks like it's not too much different than St. Kitts after all!)


We took the journey in two days, stopping in Massachusetts for the night and for a brief shopping trip to take advantage of their lack of taxes!  Northeast America looks strikingly familiar to Ontario, so we felt quite at home making the drive!


We arrived in Maine at around 4pm on the second day, unloaded the car, unpacked, and got settled into our new place!  It is beautiful!  A slight upgrade from the Crackhouses haha!


Over the past week, Andee and I have been settling in, enjoying the conveniences of America, and getting ready for a new semester of school!  Even I can say that although I am generally freezing to death, Maine really is a beautiful place, and we really look forward to both visitors from Canada and enjoying Maine in the warmer weather!


Welcome to Andee and Diana's American Adventure!!!

  3. Your right! The ocean still looks beautiful!
    And the condo...A slight step up.
    It however doesn't seem real. Where are the flying coach-roaches?
    Is this a dream?

    I can't wait to visit, hopefully when it is a little warmer.

    C U Soon...

  4. Diana! The condo is lovely. SUCH an upgrade from Fairway Condos aka: Crackhouses. Hahahaha. P.S. That bedding on your bed is by Raymond Waites, and we received it as a wedding gift. It's the best comforter ever! However...we did get rid of it when we moved to Saint Kitts, and now seeing it on your blog, it makes me want to purchase it again when we get back. The one you have is the "Peacock" version...and okay, I'm going to stop ranting about bedding that I love and no longer have. ;)
