Well, I returned from my trip yesterday, and had a great time!! Hurricane Irene defintinitely made us start a couple of days later though... with 7" of rain, no electricity throughout New England and LOTS of roads completely wiped out.

I'll update the trip on my blog with photos and more detail in the next couple of days.

What can I say? I'm totally hooked on self contained touring, although if it has two wheels ... I'm Hooked!

check here if you're interested in more detail on the trip
