Despite the brisk competition from other wonderlands in Maine, Acadia wins the top spot for natural beauty in my heart.  There is something special about mountains on the ocean.  Even if the mountains are relative midgets (Cadillac Mountain is the highest point here at 1,530 feet - sti…

What a Great experience! I guess what I want to say most of all is thank you to Phish and Co., the state of Maine and all the wonderful folks between our I95 exit and the entrance to paradise. I could have never imagined such a fine welcome. I rolled through the towns around 8:00pm Friday and all a…

Our first stop was Old Orchard Beach in Maine.   A popular tourist destination, it has a pier with shops and restaurants all along it, An amusement park, arcade, water park,  all kinds of gift stores, and naturally, a large beach.  A little over 200 miles from home, it took us a…

July 8th, 2007: I finally did it.  I jumped from a moving airplane at 14,000 feet.  Yes, I skydived!  On June 26th, my friend, Shannon, bartered for free gift certificates for two people at Skydive New England.  She chose me to go with her, and I couldn't refuse (even though …

Nothing like New England in the autumn!  Hailing from the West Coast, I decided that fall was the best time to go because on the West Coast there are two seasons;  warm and  chilly.  So I was excited to see a real fall, who wouldn’t be?   Chip has been really great at h…

Me and some of my friends went on a vacation to Maine. We mostly stayed in Bar Harbor, but we also went to Portland and Boothbay. We had a great time. People were very nice. The one thing I noticed about Maine was how clean it was. Most of the time you didn't ever see a cigarette butt on the ground. It was a little expensive for food in some of the towns. But the views of the land were worth ever second. It was a very beautiful place to go. I recommend it to anyone.

I woke up at about 345 to my aunts dog begging to go outside, when she came back she said she had heard thunder off in the distance and thought we were about to get a thunder storm.  About 20 minutes later we got hit by a massive thunder storm.  The storms lasted the rest of the earl…

I think the list of the most favorite things to eat should be headed by Boneless Buffalo Style Chicken. The funny thing about it is that at first i hated it, then i could eat it, next stage was - stealing it from my husband's plate. I would give the second place to Salt&Pepper Chicken f…

I was lucky enough to be invited to stay at a friend's family's summer home in Ocean Park, ME. A few months ago we had been talking about Boston, and she asked if I had ever eaten pizza at Bertucci's. I hadn't, but she said she stopped there every year on her way to Maine. She invited me to come al…

As we pulled intot he town of Bar Harbor we were afriad we would not find a parking spot; but somehow my dad always gets lucky with this sort of thing, and we found a good spot in the municipal parking lot.  It being such a nice day everybody seemed to be out enjoying themselves.  My moth…

So, last day of camp - very sad day. I didn't realise how much I actually loved camp until everyone started to leave. I will miss the girls sooo much and can't wait til next year to see them all again. And my friends at camp - I have made some of the best friends ever - Shel, Judy, Alana and gonna …

When I was younger we used to vacation in Belfast, now I live 20 minutes from here.  A must stop was alwayd Perry's Nut House, a roadside oddity that has been around for ever.  Downtown Belfast is lined with ornate brick buildings that lead down to the cities water front.  My brother…

I always love the unique creations built by the various artists at these festivals, and this year's "Sunk City" was the coolest of the bunch, imo. The half-sunk Bob's Big Boy was priceless.  IT was a collection of artworks and other fun and very creative stuff. IT was really cool.&nb…
