Back Home

Susan Hiltunen of Windham recently returned from a trip to Augusta, Ga., where she visited her sister, Betsy Smith, and family. She had an amazing flight from Portland through Atlanta to Augusta and for the first time in her life, she actually arrived ahead of schedule instead of two days late.

The highlight of the trip was taking her sister and family members to Old McDonald Fish Camp in North Augusta, South Carolina where the Southern food is spectacular and a discount is given for paying with cash.
