Back from Maine Vacation

Posted by Pixelhead

Got back from our Maine vacation last night after a week long vacation. What was intended to be a working vacation, ended up being more of a time off vacation. I do find myself a little behind with blogging, but I did manage to get a little Maine Lobster and Clamscomputer time in while visiting relatives in Lisbon, Maine. I got a few posts done on the travel blog, and was able to respond to some comments, but writing of posts on Pixelheadonline was not in the cards.

Mid week Lizzie and I took a trip to Bar Harbor, and sadly did not have Internet access. The LedgeLawn Inn, is a huge old mansion that reminds me of The Shining. It is a great place to visit if you want to get away, but Internet seems to b a luxury that needs to be upgraded too. As we were driving up the coast, we did see other places that had WiFi, but ours did not. Well it did give us plenty of time for checking out the town and Arcadia National Park. I did take lots of pics, and took some notes in an actual tablet, which will eventually make it into several posts on the Lizzie’s Travel Blog, so if you get a chance and want to get some info on Bar Harbor, check out the travel blog.

Upcoming posts here and elsewhere will include:

Mid-month Top commentators post.

An SEO suggestion post for Paula, Queen of the Surf Pirates.

Entry to the 7Ps of Meme which I was tagged for by Sarah over at BlueJar.com

Two Guest blogging posts, one for Pureblogging.com and one for Freelancefolder.com.

I am sure there are a few others that I am forgetting, to mention, but they will occur. But now, I need to do some client work, because I need to pay the bills. ttyl.

A question for other bloggers:

Oh I would like to add a little question to this Maine Vacation post, and ask my fellow bloggers about protocol when going on vacation. Do you write a post before vacation or do like me and write it after the fact?

Welcome back! Looks like you did have a good time, sometimes it is nice to not worry about what is going on online. But than there is so much catching up to do huh? When I go on vacation I would ‘like’ to pre-write my posts, but actually doing so would be hard. I don’t like to write all at once, it makes my brain spin. But during Christmas I will be away for 2 weeks, so I’m sure I’ll need to come up with something. Thats my newbie bit on it, but I wonder what more experienced bloggers have done/do? Maybe guest bloggers?

Yes, I do recall reading on several that they had guest bloggers while they were away.
Perhaps having some back up articles would be a good thing, much like a teacher with sub lesson plans.

The only problem with the productivity is that now I am seriously backlogged with not only blogging but client SEO work as well…those darned reports.

That lobster looks delicious. Haven’t ever travelled there myself.

It was quite tasty. I had more than my fill of sea food on that trip to include lobster, lobster rolls, lobster bisque, lobster chowder, lobster rolls, steamed clams, clam chowder, haddock…

Touring through your older posts and the picture of the shellfish and wine was definitely an eye stopper. Sounds like it was a great vacation, and we need to detach from the Internet once in a while (as hard as it may be sometimes).

Yes, I almost forgot about that vacation as well. Next month, I will be going up again, this time for my cousins wedding. Lizzie is making plans for us to go to Bar Harbor again. Last time we were in Bar Harbor she found and artist she loves, so she contacted the artist, and he invited us up for some wine on his patio.
Lizzie also found a package deal at the Bar Harbor Inn, which may do. I am sure I will be doing a post about the trip here or on our travel blog.
