Week 33 POTW

When we finally got to Rockland, Maine at about 6:00PM this evening, we headed straight for the Somerset Resort Hotel. Their website said they had plenty of rooms available.... but not so! We were turned away.

Even with my natural charm and persuasive ability, I was not able to convince the young check-in meister that I was not your average guest, and that my presense would lend intangible prestige to his lodging house for the next two days.

Who needs the freaking Somerset anyway??? Been there, Done that.
~
We ended up in a brand new extended stay room at the TradeWinds, complete with a jacuzzi, fireplace, and nice view of the harbor. And far cheaper than the Somerset.

See That??? When God closes one door, he opens another. There is no bad luck - only our limited vision, and time impaired judgement of events.

Speaking of bad luck, it's time to announce the Peep of the Week Selections.
