My Dream Trip

Last summer was a drag.

I couldn't find a job, didn't leave the house much, and never got the chance to see New England. But I guess it was all for the best because my (borderline-obsessive) tenacity made me save up every penny I found under my couch cushion for a future trip... which will be the one I'm going on this June!

But before I dive into that, I'd like to add a little bit of background information.

The one place in New England that I regard higher than anywhere else in the region, the place where I'm determined to live in one day, the place where I belong to a hundred of their local real estate sites, is...

Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

I've always been a lover of the sea, and anything having to do with the sea. Nothing is more romantic to me than that period of the time when it was Man against the Ocean; those sea-faring days when women had to part with their husbands for months, sometimes even years, without a hint of assurance if they'd ever get to see them again.

What a time in American History, and a courageous one at that. To face unfathomable depths of untamed Sea in a minute shell of a boat, jousting with a reckless beast that could swallow your entire crew with one solitary yawn.

These men were practically warriors in their own time.

And due to this lustrous history, it makes it only natural for me to want to live amidst it all (and their gorgeous homes don't hurt, either!)

So to come back to my trip, My Dream Trip, as I call it, I've selected none other than Sandwich, Massachusetts (my favorite town on the Cape), and Nantucket.

I don't know how it was possible that I saved up over $1000 in a few measly months, but I did! So I immediately made reservations at two beautiful inns:

 

The Inn at Sandwich Center

Where I'll be staying in this lovely room:

 

(It's also right down the street from my dream house!:

 

Where I'll probably be frozen in front of for my entire trip!)

Then after three nights in Sandwich, we're going to take the Steamship Authority ferry to Nantucket Island where I'll be staying in:

 

The Centre Street Inn

I found this place by chance after calling some inns to check out their seasonal rates. Well, this place won me over, not just with its beauty, but its extremely affordable price! (the owners were very friendly too)

Not to mention, the location is great:

I'll be staying for another three nights there, and then regrettably returning back to good ol' Long Island (but, in my very best Terminator voice, "I'll be back!")

So, there you have it! My Dream Trip! I haven't nearly begun to show you all my wack-a-doodle plans ("wack-a-doodle" meaning I've already planned everywhere we'll be dining, for crying out loud), but rest assured, you'll soon be informed!

P*S: I'd also like to thank my new followers for joining me!

This is a brand new blog, so you've come at the perfect time :)

Always feel free to add anything YOU heart about this wonderful region, I'd love to hear it.

And if you have any suggestions, or ideas for any new topics, I'd love to hear those as well!
