a few of my favorite things....The past two days, we've been staying at the Trapp Family Lodge, located on a mountaintop overlooking spectacular views in Stowe, Vermont... I could stay here for a long time, but Jerry could only get us great rates for two nights, so today we leave for Maine.
This lodge was founded by the VonTrapp family, which was, as you probably know, the family that The Sound of Music is based on, so there is Sound of Music and Trapp Family and Austrian decor and memorabilia throughout the lodge. Maria VonTrapp, along with her husband Georg and various family members, are buried just to the left of the lodge.
It's early morning, and I'm sitting in the lounge having coffee and listening to a group of senior-citizen bus-tour people getting their instructions for the day.... I should go back to the room and get the maps out...
It's always sad leaving Vermont, perhaps the most charming of the states (and you know I'm a sucker for charm). Would love to come here sometime during ski season. Not to ski, of course. Just to hang out in the lodge by the fireplace.

I am a sucker for charm, the traveling part is the killer for me.
yeah, I hear ya, but traveling is unfortunately what it takes to be somewhere else... The airport experience is the worst!!
