One Day Lobster Sales Top 7000 in Boothbay Harbor

BakedStuffedLobster

Locals and Maine Lobster-lovers from Bangor to Lewiston lined up as early as 7:30 am for $5.00 Lobsters on Saturday November 8 at the Boothbay High School parking lot for the promotion dubbed, "Lobster Maine-ia". The lobsters were offered either live or cooked and by 9:00 a.m. an estimated 2000 lobsters had already been sold. The Boothbay Register reported that the event was planned to focus attention on the dramatic drop in lobster sales. According to the Register, $10,000 was cleared to be used to promote lobster sales statewide. Of course, those who purchased lobsters enjoyed an all time low price per piece and that makes them taste even better too. For more information such as recipes, statistics and fun facts on Maine Lobster, visit the Lobster Promotion Council online. To order Maine Lobsters direct to your doorstep we recommend Robinson's Wharf at 207-633-3830.

The Most Amazing Places to Stay - Space

Spaceshiptwo 

One would think, that the most popular post on our blog would be related to whale watching, wedding planning or special vacation packages. But since the inception of our blog 1 year ago, our post on Poseidon, the underwater resort, has received the most clicks and interest. There is no doubt that the travel industry is evolving and more than ever the thrill seeking super rich are looking for the "Titanic" experience of our day. For those who cannot afford these extravagant adventures, the internet allows us to experience the thrill through various media outlets from our computer screen. A big story in the news recently had video-game developer and millionaire Richard Garriott spending a reported 37 million dollars to fly to the International Space Station, making this the most extravagant leisure travel experience of all time. There is no doubt that this type of travel experience is out of reach for most, however there are a handful of companies seeking to be the first to bring Space Travel to the mainstream. On the forefront of that race is Virgin Galactic. Their aim is to give the super rich the opportunity to become one of the first ever non-professional astronauts.

One of the oddest and perhaps most unknown segments of the travel market are tiny hotel rooms where several hoteliers are trying to promote small rooms as interesting, eco-friendly and convenient.  An article from Web Urbanist featured a Pipe Hotel and Capsule Hotel that might leave you feeling very claustrophobic by the time the article is finished.  Check out this article from Web Urbanist by clicking here.

If you are looking for more spacious accommodations with a view, check out Newagen Seaside Inn or Lawnmere Inn, located just minutes from Boothbay Harbor, Maine on beautiful Southport Island.
