It’s easy to see why Monhegan has attracted so many artists. The island is a series of stunning visual impressions. And when we visited, colorful birds were everywhere too!

The Traveling Maine(r) and the Traveling Teacher
This was the title of my speech today to retired teachers gathered in Augusta for their annual conference. They wanted to hear about travel in Maine, but I had to start by letting them know they are appreciated. Here's my speech, with lots of travel advice.
We’re going to talk travel today, but before we get to that, I need to say this. Thank you. Thank you for all that you did for me, my children, and now my grandchildren. You may not be feeling appreciated these days, but you are appreciated. So I start by applauding you.

Who knew that Bath is a vacation destination?
After years of driving by this thriving community, we stopped for a night at the Inn in Bath where we met others on weekend get-a-ways from Chelsea, Maine to Chicago, Illinois! And because of a storm, this turned into a 3-day visit!

South Portland

Our friend Jim Pinfold said South Portland’s Taj has “the best Indian food in Maine.” He spends a lot of time in India so he should know. And Jim was soooo right! For an appetizer, we spent two hours at the Portland Art Museum, enthralled by the Winslow Homer exhibit.
Campobello Dreaming

Lubec

Campobello Island is in Canada but it should be in Maine. It sure feels like home to us.
We spend a week every August at Campobello’s Island Chalet, and this year we added two new things: an exciting whale watching adventure with Island Cruises and tea with Eleanor Roosevelt!
Lubec Is Great - and So Is It's Water Street Tavern!

Lubec

We’ll bet you can’t visit Lubec just once. We certainly can’t. This place hooks you right in the heart and quickly becomes a place you miss when you are not there. On and off the water, there’s lots to do, but some of our best times here are spent doing “nothing.”
