@rosemarya That's much further for you than for us of course, but the Maine coast is really special. I think there are only two places with rooms on the water and balconies, The Bar Harbor Inn where we stayed, and the Harborside, where we stayed the first time we went to Bar Harbor.
We really enjoy going into Acadia National Park too. It's always very interesting. One of the Rockefellers is responsible for that park.

@contentandwell. We actually stayed outside of town and took advantage of the bus get into the town because of the parking. We spent a lot of time in Acadia - that was our main reason for going - and the lobster! We also did a whale watch. We also went to Camden (I think) for a sailboat to Mohegan Island. Great trip!

@rosemarya I do remember on one of the roads leading into town that there are a number of places to stay but I don't think we took that road this year.
I ate lobster one time, actually on our way into Bar Harbor we stopped for dinner. It was delicious of course but it is high in sodium so I only eat it rarely. I would love to do a whale watch sometime.
We went to Camden for a Memorial day weekend one time, probably about five years ago. I loved Camden too, the home of the windjammers. I would love to go out on one of them sometime. The next town (Rockport) has an art museum with a lot of work by Andrew Wyeth.

@contentandwell Hi JK: Thanks for giving us a virtual tour of the East Coast, it all sounds just wonderful! Your description makes me long for trip out East. It has been a while since I visited New Hampshire's White Mountains and Connecticut's Green Mountains and Cape Cod and all of those great places. Just unforgettable. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
