Maine, Vermont & New Hampshire – Page 1
For our 2002 vacation we went to see New England, a part of the US that we had not been to before. Felicia, Susie, Larry, and I flew to Boston and rented an SUV to start our tour, and then got out of Boston as quick as we could, driving north and spent 2 weeks seeing Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. The girls had booked us cabins on the coast and deep in the country. We spent one night on an island in Acadia National Park. At the end of the trip we swung up through New York state and into Canada.
We ate a lot of lobster, seafood and pancakes and saw our share of lighthouses and covered bridges. We went in mid-September to try and see the leaves changing color in New England but missed by a few weeks. We came back to Maine, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in September of 2022.

Gloucester, Massachusetts. Since records have been kept, over 5,000 Gloucester men have been lost at sea trying to earn a living and feed the world.
This is where the doomed fishing crew left on the Andrea Gail in 1991. Later the movie “The Perfect Storm” was based on this tragedy.
Massachusetts – our first night we stayed on the water. I am still trying to find out where this was.
Felicia, me, Susie and Larry in southern Maine a few miles from Kennebunkport. This is the Cape Neddick Light in, Maine. Around 2017 we were at the Red Lobster in Plano, Texas and I took a photo of the painting below – same place. In October, 2022 we were back at the same place but the weather was cold, rainy, windy with large waves
In Maine we took a ride on a sailing ship. The ship was getting ready to sail south to Florida for the winter as they don’t do too much tour business in Maine in the winter.
While we were in Maine we stayed at Beloin’s Lodge right on the water. It did not look like this on the internet and it did not have air conditioning. It was so hot there that we threw our mattress off of the bed and took it down to the screened in patio about 5 feet from the Atlantic Ocean.
Hello Maine, they have air conditioners now!
We stayed overnight on Isle au Haut in Acadia National Park. We had to take a ferry boat there. Felicia and I won the coin toss and we got to stay in the lighthouse keepers house where there was no electricity.
This other photo is at the beach in Acadia National Park just outside of Bar Harbor, Maine. The water was too cold to stand in for more than a few seconds. Only little kids and baby harp seals were out.
