    We made an effort to explore more of Maine on several in-state trips and stay longer, closer to home.

    I was planning on two out-of-state trips this summer, both for events that were cancelled. Luckily I already live in Vacationland, so I will take the time and explore some of my favorite Maine places instead.

    All business travel has been canceled, and due to my company's policy of quarantining for 14 days after out of state travel, it has been a stay at home summer. Our state's policies on visitors has crushed our hospitality businesses and I hope that all of these great folks can make it through to next year's tourism season.
