FYI, I have moved to Maine.

I left Florida on the 17th and got here late the 19th.

I live in Hampden and already I have been to Acadia National Park, twice, and LOVE it.

Thus far, the majority of the people in this state have been incredibly nice, kind and very giving with advice and help. And not one single person has given me any negativity for being "from away" like I've read some others had experienced. Everyone has been welcoming and amazingly nice.

And just to point something out real quick: I was expecting a horrifying sticker shock when it came to registering my car. It was a whopping $42 more than in Florida. I think I can handle that.

Anyway, I'm here, at long last. Hurray.

A hearty welcome to Maine - you are a neighbor of mine as I am in Bangor. Hope you can make it to one of our meetups that are quite often held right here. Once it was at the Olive Garden out by the Mall and a couple were at the Sea Dog on the waterfront. How long had you lived in Florida?

Tanks!!

I lived in FL for 6 years...six long, hot, scorching, noisy years. Before that I was in TX for a year and before that was Seattle for 13. Before that was Germany, (military), and before that I was a kid and moved around a lot as a military brat.

I'm really liking Maine so far.

Thanks!!

By the way, Maine Writer, your statement under your handle in the upper left hand corner of your posts helped me focus. I'm a doer. And I did it.

Woo Hoo! Gatormama is here!

There was a gal who came by here a few days ago, she looked just like you. I thought she looked kind of hungry so we fed her steak shish-kabobs.

Glad to hear your getting settled in
