Oct 18, 2009 - Bar Harbor to Bangor, Maine
We were able to drive up it to the summit, along with several tour buses, and when we got to the top we could see where the buses came from - there were two huge cruise ships down in the ocean off Bar Harbor. ... We couldn't even wander the streets because they were so full of cruise ship passengers, but we did drive around Bar Harbor and the other communities to ogle some of the old buildings. ... After we drove out of the park and back up the island Bar Harbor is situated on, we stopped at a Lobster Shack/Restaurant for lunch - it was a crazy place, getting ready to close for the season, but was packed with people and the lunch wasn't bad. ... From Bar Harbor we headed over to Bangor, Maine, and found a nice little "Paul Bunyan" campsite still open for the night. ...

Oct 9, 2009 - Freeport and Auburn, ME
We have been to Mecca and it is L. We set Maggie (I think Bruce is getting used to her!) to give us a leisurely return to Auburn, where the RV dealership that we are staying at is located. ... I particularly like the twin townships of Auburn and Lewiston - obviously old factory areas (mills, I think) - so tons of huge old brick-built buildings that have been turned into funky business and shopping centres, plus hundreds of old, stately homes that probably were built by original factory owners. ... The airbag has arrived this morning (Friday) and we should be on the road by mid-day I think.We have been to Mecca and it is L.

Oct 6, 2009 - Bar Harbor, Lobsters & Biking
We trundled on down to Bar Harbor which is on Mount Desert Island and boasts the Acadia National Park, numerous lakes and even a mountain (Cadillac) which is the highest hilltop within something like 25 miles of the coast anywhere in the States. ... Bar Harbor itself is just a collection of touristy shops and restaurants but it's in a pretty location. ... We spent just enough time in Bar Harbor town itself to check out which restaurant I was going to take the Old Man to for his birthday dinner. ... The views overlooking the town of Bar Harbor and out in every direction were fabulous, with really interesting rock formations and ground cover. ... After leaving the Bar Harbor area, we pretty much stuck to the coast heading south. ...

The rest of the day was spent driving to Brunswick, ME where Rick and I stayed with my cousin David and his wife Margo. ... They treated us all (Jan and Skip included) to a delicious home cooked Maine lobster dinner (the best we had during our entire trip).Oct 2 Today we start our exploration of Prince Edward Island.
