Bob_Belville Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Next Thursday 7/10 is Nancy and my 50th anniversary. We're going to be in Maine the week after that so we're considering flying in to KLCI Laconia NH to spend Thursday and Friday night in that area. (We spent our one whole weekend honeymoon at Winnipesaukee in '64. I suppose we won't get another waterfront cabin for $18.) Any recommendations? For a B&B perhaps? Restaurants? 3 Quote
Joe Zuffoletto Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Congratulations! I was 2 months old on your wedding day! Quote
fantom Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Any recommendations? Yeah.....leave the room, at least for a little while, this time. 2 Quote
1964-M20E Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Congrats that is a long time. I needed another 8 months to be a twinkle in my dad's eye. Quote
Seth Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Congratulations!!! I wish I had a good idea for you. My great grandparents were fortunate enough to celebrate their 75th anniversary and my maternal grandparents are at 65 years, celebrating 66 in December. I'm just glad I'm about to celebrate my third month of marriage - 50 years is a GREAT accomplishment, and something to aim for. Again, congratulations. -Seth 1 Quote

jackn Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Two years ago, I took my new bride for our Honeymoon, to the Mount Washington Hotel. We made a full non-radar instrument approach into Mount Washington Regional. Hiked her up & down Mt Washington. Romantic I am! Quote
N33GG Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 I recommend Cialas. Don't ask me how I know! Congrats and have a great time! Quote

Marauder Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 I recommend Cialas. Don't ask me how I know! Congrats and have a great time! Being the cheap bast$&dsnwe are, wouldn't two Popsicle sticks and a bit of duct tape work just as well but for a lot less money? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

Piloto Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Bob Congratulations on your anniversary. You made the right decision 50 years ago. Not many can say the same these days. You may get a discount at the resort with your AARP card . I never got a discount except for prepaid funeral services. Jose Quote
Hank Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Sure am glad I started this jolly thread... got so much useful advice... hey B26 where are all our MS experts now? Sorry, Bob. We're pilots, we know flying and planes and our jobs, not wimmen and ro-mance an stuff!! And seeing's how Mooneys are Texas planes, tain't too many of them or us spent a whole lotta time that far North. Personally, I think WV is too far North . . . as are all other places with regular annual snowfall. Get a classy hotel, and find a restaurant you ate at the first time, preferably one with tablecloths and fabric napkins. Expect each entree to cost more than that honeymoon hotel room did each night. Then try for a couple or three hours to forget about your Mooney; it will still be there in the morning, and won't even be mad at you. Just taxi with care. :-) 1 Quote
carusoam Posted July 5, 2014 Report Posted July 5, 2014 Congratulations to Nancy. She married a Mooney pilot! Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
Bob_Belville Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Posted July 5, 2014 Congratulations to Nancy. She married a Mooney pilot! Best regards, -a- Thanks! She didn't actually marry a pilot in 1964 but she did give him the first 2 hours of flight instruction and a couple of books on flying for Christmas in 1968. (She says I did not look at any of the other gifts.) August 2 will be the 45th anniversary of my PPL and August 20 will be the 45th anniversary of my Mooney check out. Quote
Bob_Belville Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Posted July 6, 2014 We're booked here for 2 nights then a short flight to KIWI for a week. www.innatsmithcove.com/ Very handy to KLCI. Thanks for all the help. Quote
Bob_Belville Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 Great spot, we really lucked up. That's my coffee cup on the stone wall. I'm standing on the gazebo/dock to take the pic! 1 Quote
DrBill Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 VERY NICE Bob... I wish my wife and I could do that but she will not get within 20 yards of the plane. You are a lucky man to have a wife like that. We're going to Philly later this year to celebrate our 41st. We've never been there and we'll drive up (yuk). BILL Quote

She has really bad motion sickness problems and hates flying. Really sucks to have an airplane and ability and desire to fly anywhere and not have a companion that can join in the party. Very frustrating, even after 35 years together! And I really hate driving, especially while calculating when we would have been there, wherever there is! My empathy DrBill. 1 Quote
