With this horrid school year over, it’s time to focus on some R&R. The Mrs. and I are off to Maine for a week. We’ll be exploring Portland and the coast and visiting with some of my wife’s college friends.

I’m anticipating some lovely scenery and will update this thread with photos, if there are any worth sharing.

Here we are waiting to board.

After the airport chaos here in the UK, that’s one helluva quiet departure lounge.

Are you sure your flight is going ahead

And you are right, your wife looks very smart. You, not so much

Have a great time.

Enjoy!

With that dress Mrs JKB should be going to Italy! Amalfi or Portofino. You both look very relaxed and ready for some quality time, which I hope you enjoy!

Ugh…two little kids next to me, mom with two more, including a toddler behind me. Thank god it’s a short flight. At least the Mrs. and I have aisle seats across from each other, offering plenty of leg room.

This is the perfect comment, as the Amalfi coast is her favorite place in Italy! We were commenting in the airport about getting dressed to the nines the next time we travel overseas.

I’ll need a GMT for that trip!

FTFY. It’s much more classy than a takeaway latte!

This is why we always fly mid-week!

Just be thankful you didn’t get Mr and Mrs Chicken-McNugget and the Kids from the Dungeon Dimensions. Or Cruiserdad and his family!

I’m off to Amalfi on Friday, staying in Sorrento. But will be visiting Portofino/Pompeii/Vesuvius etc.

Not our first trip as it’s an amazingly beautiful place.

She is welcome to join us

^^^ Have a wonderful time too, Brian!

Be sure to stop into Gritty McDuff's and grab a Black Fly Stout!

Have a great time! I can’t give you recommendations, but Gritty McDuff’s sounds pretty good!
