I just returned from along weekend less than two weeks ago and I&#8217;m heading down there again today. After hearing the weather forecast, I decided to see if I could get one extra night down there (Friday night). The guest house we&#8217;re staying at Saturday and Sunday had no availability for Friday. I called at least 30 other guesthouses, inns, bed-and-breakfasts and motels and they were all booked up. I suspected I would run into this problem since most places have 5-7 night minimums in the summer. But I was optimistic that I could find at least one place that had&nbsp;one 5 or 7 day reservation that ended Thursday and another that began on Saturday &#8211; leaving Friday open<\/P><br \/>\n<P>And after hours of research, I found it! It&#8217;s a wee bit more than I wanted to spend, but it&#8217;s directly on the harbor with an ocean front balcony (and air-conditioning). How could I pass that up? <\/P><br \/>\n<P>Now Rich and I will head down to the Cape tonight and crash at my parents (and&nbsp;partake in some competitive&nbsp;Rummy playing, of course) and will then go directly to Herring Cove Beach in Ptown on Friday morning. Then we&#8217;re taking it easy Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday: beach, shopping, dining, drag\/cabaret shows, nightclubs, people watching. I&#8217;m getting relaxed just thinking about it. Unlike my last trip &#8211; I&#8217;m hoping to take oodles of pictures this time around.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>I look forward to boring you all with them next week.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do love my Provincettown.
