Can you truly know a hotel's vibe from a brochure or a webinar? Nope! That's why I take the plunge and experience

Who thought 2% would make such a difference!? After hearing about the 'path of totality' for what seems like years (living here in Maine) I rolled my eyes at the thought of driving 2 hours to watch the eclipse while I could do the same right here on my deck…well..
