First time was several years ago when I flew over to run the Bay of Fundy International Marathon up in Lubec. My most recent time was to run the Mount Desert Island Marathon out in Bar Harbor. TSA screening was a pretty painless procedure both times. Gate agents were firm, but friendly in getting everyone onboard their planes. They were a well-oiled machine! Car rental can be somewhat slow since they're still using dot-matrix printers and hand-writing some of the paperwork.

This is the first time I had the opportunity to spend a night as I had a rendezvous with dog rescue workers in Bangor (Wally #11). Lynn could not have been more welcoming nor more accommodating. The room was immaculate. As a woman traveling alone, safety and security are important factors to consider when it comes to overnight lodging. The Colony Motel surpassed all expectations. When and if the opportunity presents itself again, I'll be back. Additionally, I'll not hesitate to recommend the Colony Motel to family, friends, and in my social media chat groups.

The airlines would not let me change to the correct Portland but of course they would not. We wanted to purchase a ticket to Miami and catch the second leg of the flight but AA woyls not let me. I feel that I should have been reimbursed for the flight from Miami to CR since I had purchased a ticket from Miami to CR and was willing to buy a second ticket to Miami. We had flight insurance too. If other options are available I will never fly AA again. A Delta representative said they would have reimbursed me for the whole ticket and that they do it fairly often. Delta will now be my choice of Airlines.

Johnny was very accommodating in our initial calls and kindly agreed to pick me up at 4am to get to the airport. About 15 hours before pickup, a friend offered to drive me to the airport so I texted Johnny to inquire if it was too late to cancel, fully expecting and accepting that it was probably too late and that I would gladly take his cab ride anyway, as his small business must be supported. Instead, Johnny decided to lash out with sarcasm, costing him my business as well as the future business of the Maine-based organization I am here to work with, once they saw these screenshots. I would have happily taken this ride if he had been straightforward about the inconvenience of last minute cancellations, but unfortunately his attitude has lost him many supporters here in Maine.

I don't care what drugs people choose to engage in off the clock but tobacco isn't my favorite by miles. I make small talk, he mentions the weather (it had been a rainy summer). He tells me it didn't used to be that way. The he goes on to tell me it's not CO2 emissions like the government wants you to believe- it's actually China spewing aluminum into the atmosphere to force it to rain. I sit in silence for about 20 minutes as he talks at me about this. I finally tell him, hey, it's midnight, I work tomorrow, please shut up. To his credit, he shuts up, then cranks up the radio. I don't know what channel this is but it's clearly recorded in some dude's basement- the speaker announces that scientists and doctors are hypnotizing us and using the placebo effect to trick us into thinking the Earth is getting warmer, hypnotizing people into getting heatstroke. Covid? Also placebo effect. There's an offhanded comment about how all the doctors and scientists wear transgender and ukranian flag pins (?). Like the guy is playing "offend x group" bingo or something. This goes on for the rest of the trip. Total ride was over a hundred bucks. Next time, I'll just get a hotel and take the $9 bus in the morning. Overall, wouldn't recommend this service unless you're doing research for a thinkpiece about how America's elderly gets brainwashed.

I received a response within 5 minutes stating that he could take me to the airport. I received a few more emails that reassured me that Joseph would indeed be able to give me a ride! The morning of my departure, Joseph emailed me again to let me know he'd be there to pick me up at 9:30 am. He arrived a couple of minutes early, loaded my suitcase in his van, and drove me to the airport in time for my departure. Thank you for being so accommodating and reliable. I hope everyone else that uses your shuttle services has just as great of a time learning about Maine as I did. I loved hearing all the stories about your life here in Maine and all your encounters here. The local perspective is always the cherry on top! If you can help passengers figure out how to smuggle the blueberries on the airplanes - that would be super duper wonderful! :)
