Peter and Julie Gowan, our buddy boat cruising friends from our trip around the Bahamas last spring came for a visit. They are New Zealanders now living in Australia and spend half the year on their boat "Anything Goes" in Florida. They took AMTRAK from Toronto, where they spent Christmas with their son Kristian, to Albany, NY. James and I picked them up there on 12/27. It's about a two hour drive away.
Our sons James and Sean stayed with us through New Year's and then they drove back to Washington DC while Peter, Julie and ourselves went on to spend a week at our time share at the Bethel Inn near Sunday River. We bought week 52 there many years ago and when, every few years, we get an extra week to even things up, we use it ourselves. Otherwise we rent it out for the holiday week. We don't recommend buying a time share in general but it has worked out all right for us.
Sunday River didn't have much natural snow but we enjoyed one day of skiing and the rest of the time, used the great health club and outdoor heated pool at the Bethel Inn. It's a lovely area and we enjoyed just spending time with Julie and Peter.
On the way home we stopped to visit Bob DeFeyter in Conway and had a great hike along the river and a fun evening with him and his new dog, Ruff.
