Missing Maine-And Doing Something About It

Me (2 years ago) in front of Pumpkin Lighthouse in Little Deer Isle, Maine.

We do not have plans to go to Maine this year... yet.  We were talking today and thinking about the house we stay at in Maine, Moose and Squirrel (M&S).  With the house in Florida, we just don't have the time to spend a week in Maine this year... or do we?  We are planning on going to New York City for my birthday... for a long weekend.  We thought, why not just take the whole week off.  We could rent M&S for the week, but leave a few days early and spend the long weekend in New York. The problem is our leave situation.  If we take a week off in August, Shane won't have much leave left for the rest of the year.  But, we love M&S.  We're not even sure if it is available yet.  What to do, what to do?
