Well, I’m from NE. Been to Maine often enough and my brother lives there.
Maybe you'd like to visit the Bush compound at Kennebunkport.
You could send patteeu a postcard. Tee-Hee!
Don't just stay in the South, that's not where the best of Maine is. Although Portland is an old seaside city and cool to visit with wonderful shops in the old town. But go further up to the mid-Maine coast where the picturesque coastal villages are located.
And that should be just for startes as you eventually wind you way to "the famous
Acadia National Park See it's
Mt Desert Island and the famous town of Bar Harbor. These are a can't miss if you go to Maine.
Now if you have time, and you really want to do it right, you have got to head into the northern interior to see it's beautiful wilderness region. Completely different than coastal Maine. There's Moose Head Lake with it's majestic fir trees looming out of the water with plane rides overhead for the views. Awesome! Mt. Katahdin for hiking or just viewing and pictures.
Or try some white-water river-rafting—some of the best in the country on the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers. It's a blast and you'll never forget it. Rapid 5.5 white water, 14 foot waterfall drop and crib-work on the Penobscot that is so wild it requires a second guide to save people. You'll come up to moose in the calmer waters tredding in the water eating moss from the bottom. You'll see wild animal life. A cool story-telling material adventure.
Some places you can pick mussels right off the rocks and steam in wine and herbs for dinner. Oh and the lobster is cheap!
Enjoy your trip and Good luck. Hope I helped.
