I keep trying to get my wife to agree to a transatlantic crossing on the QM or a cruise in the Baltic or similar.. her response is the ferry from New York State to Vermont that we take en route to Boston or Cape Cod is as much cruising as she wants to do. It is spectacular but only takes ten minutes.

That's a fun one but my god some of the locals come across as a bit menacing.
Last spring we were on there and a tiny girl, around two came up to my little son and smiled at him. His Mom yelled out, 'get the f*** over here!' and roughly yanked her away from us! I tried to smile at them to reassure her it was ok if our toddlers interacted but frankly I was scared. My kids had never seen anything like it, I'll never forget it.

No we are 150 miles north of the finger lakes; St. Lawrence Valley, north of the Adirondack State Park. Finger Lakes are beautiful though; we spent a few days down there this summer, Hammondsport, Corning etc.

I'm going to be in Maine on Saturday. Where should I go for sex, drugs and rock n' roll?
