My brother has taken a job in Halifax NS, moving up this fall. We'll "have" to visit often.
For future visitors;
If you want to see the real Maine on the cheap, Belfast, Bucksport, and inland is the way to go. If you have money and time to blow...MDI is the place to be.
Nothing wrong with Belfast, Camden, etc. except Acadia isn't there. It doesn't take much effort to avoid crowds, spend next to nothing, and take in the best views on the Maine coast, which are mostly on MDI. Those other towns can be just as spendy as Bar Harbor if you don't travel like a local.
Traffic? Get up with the sun and the first 4 or 5 hours on the roads are yours alone.
The lighthouse depicted on the quarter for Maine is based on the Pemaquid Point Light located near Bristol, Maine.
My grown daughter and I visited there several years ago while my wife watched the grand kids. We found it to be quite interesting. A short way north of there, we stayed in a bed and breakfast that overlooked a fishing harbor. Sorry, can't remember the name of the place...there were lots of decent mom and pop places to choose from.
We went to a local seafood restaurant that the boats backed up to and unloaded...my daughter enjoyed her first lobster dinner there.
