It really looks like spring today and I wish I could hit the links, but have to bake two apple pies for the local church's bake sale for tsunami relief. We don't attend that church, but I'm just trying to be a good neighbor (when I'm not putting "W" stickers on my liberal neighbor's car in nighttime commando raids, that is).
E - I may ask you about that place in Massachusetts. We're thinking of going to Boston for the marathon next April, as usual, then heading to Nantucket for a few days.

You know what's kinda funny, I've never been to Nantucket. I'm in love with Woods Hole -- the beauty is just so incredible - those pristine beaches, old homes on the water, and of course the Marine Bio Institute (what can I say, I'm a nerd). I love being able to hop on a ferry and cruise over to Martha's Vineyard - a lovely island, even with all the libs that live there. I've just never made it to Nantucket. I know there's a fast ferry to N -- I can't remember if it leaves from both Woods Hole and Hyannis, or just out of Hyannis.
I'd think I'd died and gone to Heaven if I could afford waterfront property in the Woods Hole area. It is even more stunning than Maine, to me. A different kind of beauty. The thing is, not only is it ridiculously expensive, it is a shame that tourists (like myself) have discovered it because the traffic on the Cape is just so atrocious.
One goal I have is to rent a place on MV and rent one of those little motorbikes and tour the island. They're pretty reasonable and I'm such a sap for that kind of thing -- I'd be taking pictures every half minute - it would take me forever to get all over the island. But what a treat!
If you feel that way about Nantucket, maybe you would be better served finding a spot on the island. I'm sure Teh-ray-zuh could help you locate a place to stay (grin).
