      Itinerary

      Day 1
      Portland, ME & Bangor ME

       We travel from home heading for the great shores of Maine.   With its heady mixture of artistic and outdoor adventure, Maine is stylish and sophisticated, genuine and welcoming—a place where grey flannel and plaid flannel can coexist. Modern marvels mingling with maritime history.  Forever tied to its maritime heritage, Portland maintains much of its 19th century architecture and character of the trading and fishing settlement it once was when established in 1632.   We begin our adventure, stopping in Portland, Maine for lunch on our own and time to see the historic Old Port area.  At the heart of Portland’s Old Port is the working waterfront, home to fishing and lobstering boats hauling in their catch of the day and just about every other vessel you can imagine from water taxis to tall ships. Portland's unique maritime ties mingle with the sophisticated urban center of the city.   This makes for a unique blending of past and present as the 18th century brick buildings mix with cutting-edge modern architecture. The cobblestone and brick streets of the Old Port lead visitors down pathways to world-class restaurants, boutiques, bars, and maybe even a speakeasy or two.  We then continue this afternoon north to Bangor Maine to get settled into our Hotel, the Fairfield Inn & Suites.  Tonight our dinner is included as we dine out on the town, then settle in for a good night of rest.

      As usual Best of Times and Danversport rose to the occasion and put on a GREAT Irish Celebration! The food was delicious and served quickly and very hot. The wait staff were great What a fun, entertaining show. I had a pleasant surprise personally, because over 40 years ago I used to go out of my way to see George Casey on Cape Cod perform at the steakhouse and here he was in Danversport great comedian.!
