>Portland, Maine

Portland is an old seacoast town. It is also a funky city filled with galleries, one-of-kind boutiques and shops, and incredible restaurants serving everything from New England clam chowder, lobster rolls and Maine seafood to nouveau cuisine.

We took a lovely short trip with Jon, Michael, Brittany, Kevin, Josh, Chris and Kelly during 8/17/06-8/19/06. Beautiful area, crowded, lovely open water, marsh, and river paddling, very short carries, and beautiful weather.

>Buck Island Reef National Monument, Virgin Islands

Visited February 2006

The 176-acre island and surrounding coral reef ecosystem support a large variety of native flora and fauna, including several endangered and threatened species such as hawksbill turtles and brown pelicans. The elkhorn coral barrier reef that surrounds two-thirds of the island has extraordinary coral formations, deep grottoes, abundant reef fishes, sea fans and gorgonians. At the eastern most point of the reef is the famous underwater trail; both novice and expert snorkelers will enjoy the passages through the reef. The island has an overland nature trail and white coral sand beaches.
