| Mount Desert Island | Advice on Inns, cottages, B&B Posted: Thu August 27, 2009 10:54 PM UTC
Looking at Southwest Harbor and Manset. The Moorings Cottage rentals look interesting. Info on bathrooms is sketchy in general. My husband is not usually a fan of B&B type things. Have Moon Costal Maine book for reference. We will be in the area for 3 nights Sept 10,11 & 12. Any suggestions, or firsthand experience appreciated.

| Maine | Potato blossoms Posted: Wed June 10, 2009 05:03 PM UTC
I am familiar with coastal and Down East Maine, but I have never seen the potato blossoms in northern Maine. I gather it is worth making the effort. I know there is a Potato Blossom Festival in mid-late July (which answers, roughly anyway, the question of timing), but I'm not interested in the festival itself. Can anyone suggest an itinerary (areas of Aroostook County, towns, specific routes, etc.) that would be helpful in planning a short, perhaps overnight (or two) excursion so that I can see the fields in bloom and avoid the festival. Thanks.

We are three people planning to spend 3-4 days around the coast of Maine. It's the first time we come to this area and we would like to know if we should book on advance or if it's possible to find somewhere to stay as we travel around (we don't need luxury places, just clean, comfortable and nice :) ).
Thanks in advance for your help. |

We are planning a trip to Maine and Nova Scotia for summer 2009.
We are outdoorsy types that would love a true New England experience. Do you have any lodging recommendations for Bar Harbor and Yarmouth? 2 adults, 2 teenagers. We plan to hike Acadia, take the CAT ferry to Nova Scotia, other than that... no set plans. Suggestions? |

| Maine | First trip to Maine Posted: Mon July 7, 2008 09:21 PM UTC
Planning on traveling to Rockland for the annual lobster festival in 2009.
Since this is our first trip to Maine my wife and I want to be able to experience the best the mid coast area has to offer. We like antiquing,casual shopping, and historical settings and museums. I especially want to see small fishing ports and any thing maritime. So my questions: Is this a good time to come to the mid-coast area or is there a better time that won't be PACKED with tourist like us. Also, would like some recommendations from seasoned travelers to this area for accommodations and quaint dining experiences,especially lobster! Ok... lobsta! Thank you for your replies. Ken |
